RFI LEO Satellite Compliance and Performance Monitoring

The Colorado Broadband Office (CBO) is soliciting feedback and seeking capable vendors for a future contract to design and execute a verification regime to protect taxpayers' investment in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services. The goal is to validate deployment, verify simultaneous performance, and supplement state staff with in-depth technical auditing. The project involves developing a methodology to test if the network can support statutorily required speeds and latency when the network is under load. The scope of services includes methodology design, construction and deployment monitoring, and strategies for in-depth technical performance monitoring. Some key aspects of the project include: • Validating deployment by confirming physical equipment activation at funded locations • Verifying simultaneous performance by testing network capacity under load • Supplementing state staff with in-depth technical auditing to augment compliance checks • Developing a methodology to test network performance and latency • Providing capacity modeling to validate LEO provider technical data • Conducting installation verification and geofence validation • Tracking subscription progress against reported data • Performing simultaneous stress testing and latency analysis • Validating quarterly performance data submitted by LEO providers
