Project Overview Florence Unified School District (District) would like to perform a wireless LAN refresh. This refresh will include devices to support the wireless LAN including, switches, access points and wireless LAN controllers. Hye Tech Network & Security Solutions, LLC (HyeTech) will provide the following response to the RFQ posted by the District. HyeTech will only be responding to the services involved in integrating the solution chosen by the District. HyeTech does not sell any hardware or licensing. All pricing provided is compliant with HyeTech’s State Contract (ADSPO12-024661) and also HyeTech’s SPIN # of 143035587.

Qualifications and Experience The HyeTech team has conducted a detailed review of the equipment list that the District anticipates purchasing. HyeTech has knowledge, training, experience in each aspect of the parts list. Our engineers and technicians are confident in integrating and deploying all the products the District anticipates purchasing. The HyeTech team has over 10 years of experience in deploying all the parts in the District’s tentative parts list. HyeTech has diverse high level Cisco certified engineers in various areas of technology areas including:

Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) o The CCIE is described by Cisco as "the most prestigious networking

certification in the industry". The CCIE certifies a very specific set of skills in the field of networking. According to Cisco, less than 3% of Cisco Certified engineers obtain CCIE certification and less than 1% of the networking professionals worldwide", and the average candidate will spend thousands of their own dollars and spend at least 18 months studying while pursuing it. There are two parts to obtaining a CCIE, the written and an 8 hour lab exam. Passing all the requirements of the program earns the individual a unique CCIE number assigned by Cisco.

Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP)/ Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP)

o The CCNP validates the ability to plan, implement, verify, and troubleshoot local and wide-area enterprise networks and work collaboratively with specialists on advanced security, voice, wireless, and video solutions. In addition to CCNA exams, professionals must pass three separate professional-level exams.

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)/Cisco Certified Design Associate (CCDA)

o CCNA certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN.




HyeTech engineers with the above CCIE and CCNP level certifications will be integral part of the team that delivers on the RFQ. HyeTech’s engineers also have certifications from industry standard bodies that are manufacturer agnostic for wireless and security including:

Certified Wireless Technology Specialist (CWTS) o Wireless certifications from CWNP, a wireless vendor neutral wireless

standards body. This covers all aspects of RF and is a critical certification for a wireless engineer.

Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) o Professional level wireless certifications from CWNP, a wireless vendor

neutral wireless standards body. This covers all aspects of RF and is a critical certification for a wireless engineer. Specifically, CWNA covers the skills to successfully survey, install, and administer enterprise wireless networks

Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP) o Professional level wireless certifications from CWNP, a wireless vendor

neutral wireless standards body. This covers all aspects of RF and is a critical certification for an advanced wireless engineer. The CWSP ensures you have the skills to successfully secure enterprise wireless networks.

SANS GIAC Certified Firewall Analyst (GCFW) o GIAC Certified Firewall Analysts (GCFWs) have the knowledge, skills, and

abilities to design, configure, and monitor routers, firewalls, and perimeter defense systems. Achieving this certification required a written test as well practical paper of minimum 10 pages regarding security topics having to do with Intrusion Prevention.

SANS GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA) o GCIAs have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to configure and monitor

intrusion detection systems, and to read, interpret, and analyze network traffic and related log files. Achieving this certification required a written test as well practical paper of minimum 10 pages regarding security topics having to do with Intrusion Prevention.

Lastly, HyeTech deploys many other vendor hardware and software including:

Juniper Networks Brocade Hewlett Packard Microsoft Checkpoint VMWare Enterasys Adtran Force 10 Aruba Network




Campus Routing and Switching Routing and switching technologies are one of the main building blocks of HyeTech. Our firm invests considerable training and experience in all of Cisco’s switching products. We have designed and deployed numerous complex, multi-layer enterprise networks. HyeTech engineers, who have numerous years of experience have configured and deployed thousands of switches and routers in large environments. HyeTech has substantial hands on experience with Cisco Catalyst switches, as well as, Metro Ethernet switches. In fact, our engineers were among the first to recommend the use of the Metro Ethernet switches in school districts. That solution not only reduced cost, but also provided services with options were not previously available to school district wide area networks. Our firm has designed networks employing the simplest configurations and has also incorporated complex and advanced features available in these product lines. HyeTech has undertaken projects that require everything from designing and deploying a handful of switches to several thousand switches. Wireless HyeTech’s wireless practice and engineering is one of the leaders in this market. One notable client is the University of Arizona where HyeTech engineers played a crucial role in deploying one of the largest wireless networks in the state. The University of Arizona currently has more than 7500 Cisco wireless access points used across the campus. Two other notable clients, Mesa Public Schools and Tucson Unified School District, where Hye Tech engineers deployed over 6000 Cisco wireless access points at each district. HyeTech engineers are knowledgeable in the complexity created by large-scale deployment and comfortable working in this arena. Aside from the sheer number of access points, the wireless portion at the District will present the additional complexity for users to ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD). Our engineers have built and deployed secure wireless network to include access for guests as well as BYOD access. We have considerable experience in the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) which is the critical part of any BYOD solution. The Cisco BYOD solution has been successfully deployed at the many districts HyeTech engineers. HyeTech incorporates BYOD access using Cisco ISE at other clients. Customer Experience HyeTech has served numerous government and school district clients. These agencies are HyeTech’s main focus. Over 75% of HyeTech’s current client base is dedicated to school districts and governmental agencies. We provide or have provided consulting and integration services to the following school districts:

Chandler Unified School District Florence Unified School District
