Timco Engineering, Inc. 849 NW State Road 45 P.O. Box 370 Newberry, Florida 32669. FCC ID: 2ADAKSFFR615WUH1 Subject: Etherstack Inc. justification letter for expanded frequency range 440 - 479 MHz Gentlemen, You have asked Etherstack Inc. for justification to have the 440-479 MHz frequency range appear on the face of the FCC Grant of Certification for a Part 90 Certification. (1) This radio repeater is used in systems by Federal and Public Safety agencies including Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services, etc. (2) This frequency range is regarded as usual and customary by the United States Federal Government and its various departments, user organizations and the military to appear on the face of the equipment Grant of Certification. (3) Etherstack Inc. Marketing Department plans to ensure that USA users, other than those specifically identified in this letter, do not operate within the bands of 440-479 MHz, as controlled by the users’ FCC station license. (4) This device will not be marketed to USA users, other than those identified in the letter, namely the US Government and its various departments, user organizations and the military, for operation in 440-479 MHz frequency range. (5) Equipment programming is the responsibility of Authorized Service Personnel. (6) The radio repeater complies with 47 CFR Part 90.203(e), in that the operator cannot directly program the transmit frequencies using the normally accessible external controls. (7) As per FCC KDB634817 guidance, “as an alternative to listing the exact frequencies, we acknowledge that it’s a violation of the FCC Rules if this device operates on unauthorized frequencies. Yours faithfully, Doug J Chapman, Vice President Business Development Etherstack Inc.

This report may not be reproduced except in full. Exposure of humans to RF fields As per FCC KDB 447498 D01 and Section 2.1091 radio frequency transmitters are required to be operated in a manner that ensures the public is not exposed to RF energy levels. Calculations have been made using the General Public/Uncontrolled Exposure limits that are defined in Section 1.1310. Minimum safe distances have been calculated below. Power density, mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 - General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limit will be 0.29 mW/cm 2 (f/1500 = 440 MHz/1500) As this radio can operate over the range of 440 - 512 MHz the lowest frequency of operation in the USA, which will give the worst case result, would be 440 MHz. The minimum distance from the antenna at which the MPE is met is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in watts, transmit antenna gain, transmitter duty cycle and separation distance in metres: Power Density = 0.29 mW/cm 2 = E 2 /3770 E= √0.29*3770 E = 33.1 V/m The rated maximum transmitter power (P) = 15 watts (+40 dBm). A duty cycle (DC) of 100% as the transmitter is a base station could possibly be operated for long periods of time. Transmitter is operated using a quarter wave whip antenna with a gain (G) of 2.14 dBi (1.64). The safe distance would be calculated as follows: d = √ (30 * P * G*DC) / E d = √ (30 * 15 * 1.64 * 1.0) / 33.1 d = 0.82 metres or 82 cm Result: Complies if the safe distances defined above are applied.
