UC Irvine 800 MHz Radio Ordering Procedures

Summary: We provide 800 MHz radio service to the UCI campus. Use the information below to order radio service.

Effective August 1996, Network & Academic Computing Services (NACS) assumed responsibility for providing 800 MHz radio service for campus users.  Departments that wish to obtain 800 MHz radio service must submit a Network & Academic Computing Services – Telephone & Network Request Form to NACS at 5201 California Avenue, #150, Zot 5475 or by fax (949)824-2270.  Departments should not contract directly with vendors for 800 MHz radio service.

To purchase a new 800 MHz radio please follow the steps listed below:

1. The department must submit a Purchase Requisition for the 800 MHz radio and related equipment to Procurement Services.  Contact Ralph Kupcha at (949) 824-5823 for assistance.  The completed Purchase Requisition should be sent to Procurement Services, Attn: Ralph Kupcha, Zot 4530.
   *NOTE: All parts & accessories can be purchased directly from Motorola using a PAL card.  Information on ordering parts and accessories can be found at http://www.nacs.uci.edu/network/orderingparts.html
2. A NACS Service Request Form must be submitted to authorize programming of the radio and monthly reoccurring charge.  The forms must include account, fund, sub, and an authorized signature. The form is available on-line at http://www.nacs.uci.edu/service-request/.

Procurement Services receives the requisition and places the order with Motorola.  The equipment is shipped to Network & Academic Computing Services (NACS), 5201 California Avenue, #150, Zot 5475.  NACS will contact the department to arrange the programming of radio(s).  Cost for programming is $35 per a radio.  Multiple radios will be billed at an hourly rate.
