This request for confidentiality is made pursuant to 47 CFR 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the FCC Rules. In particular, the following sections of the application are to be kept permanently confidential: • Schematics • Detailed Block Diagrams • Detailed Operational/Functional Description These items contain detailed system and equipment description and related information about the product which 701x considers to be proprietary, confidential and a custom design which otherwise would not be released to the general public. Since this design is a basis from which future technological products will evolve, 701x also feels that this information would be of benefit to its competitors, and that the disclosure of the information in these exhibits would give our competitors an unfair advantage in the market. Sincerely, Braydon Love Certification Engineer 701x

RE: 701x, Inc. FCC ID: 2AZT3-701XB01 Exhibit Label.pdf – i. Please provide label materials details (i.e. paper label, adhesives, etched, etc); ii. EUT appears to be large enough to contain the FCC Part 15.19 statement, please address accordingly; RESPONSE: The label material is etched into the plastic using a laser marking method. For 4ii. we would prefer to not place the statement on the label. Exhibit User Manual.pdf – Are there any user instructions for the base station? Is everything listed in the app? There are no instructions or details regarding the transmitters. Response: All setup instructions will be in the app. The device comes automatically configured for radio operations and the user is not required to perform much setup process other than mounting it, and "assigning" it to a point of interest in their app.

xBase Operational Description Document Revision: R1.1 Last Revised: 4/18/23 700 Main Ave, Fargo, ND 58103 www.701x.com xBase Operational Description 1 Revision History Revision Number Change Description Revision Date Author R1.0 Initial Release 4/04/2023 BWL R1.1 Added section 3.1: Cellular Radio Operations 4/18/2023 BWL xBase Operational Description 2 Introduction The purpose of this document is to describe the operations of the xBase. The xBase is a battery powered Bluetooth Low Energy device that uses a 2.4 GHz radio for wireless communications. The radio uses Bluetooth Low Energy in the 2400 – 2500 MHz ISM band. The Texas Instruments CC2640R2L, operates the 2.4 GHz radio. The xBase uses a Quectel BG77 cellular module for GNSS and cellular communications. A primary non-rechargeable battery is used to power the device. The device has an additional sensor on the board to provide telemetry data over the wireless interfaces. 3 Radio Operations 3.1 2.4 GHz Radio Operation The CC2640R2L provides the device with Bluetooth Low Energy radio operations in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The CC2652R7 is powered from a 3.3V lithium battery. The system is charged via a solar cell or has a 5-17VDC optional input for charging the battery. The CC2640R2L has a differential RF output. The max transmit power is 5 dBm. This differential output is fed to a discrete balun towards a chip antenna. The chip antenna has a gain of 1.1 dBi. The 2.4GHz interface uses 40 channels, each separated by 2 MHz. Each channel transmits with an approximate 1 MHz, 6dB bandwidth, signal. The channels used by the device can be found in Table 1 below. All wireless communication follows the Bluetooth Low Energy standard. Table 1: BLE Channels Channel Frequency (MHz) Channel Frequency (MHz) Channel Frequency (MHz) 0 2404 16 2438 32 2470 1 2406 17 2440 33 2472 2 2408 18 2442 34 2474 3 2410 19 2444 35 2476 4 2412 20 2446 36 2478 5 2414 21 2448 37 2402 6 2416 22 2450 38 2426 7 2418 23 2452 39 2480 8 2420 24 2454 9 2422 25 2456 10 2424 26 2458 11 2428 27 2460 12 2430 28 2462 13 2432 29 2464 14 2434 30 2466 15 2436 31 2468 xBase Operational Description 3.2 Cellular Radio Operation The Quectel BG77 provide GNSS and LTE cellular communications capabilities to the device. The Quectel BG77 is an FCC recertified cellular module (FCC ID: XMR201912BG77). The BG77 is powered from the 3.3V lithium battery. The cellular module operates on Verizon LTE bands 13 and 4. They operate on 776 - 787 MHz and 1710 – 1755 MHz frequency band respectively. The cellular module has a maximum transmit power of 21 dBm. The cell module uses the Pulse W3796 chip antenna with an average gain of -2.5 dBi for band 13 and -2 dBi for band 4. While not common, it is possible for both the cellular module and the 2.4 GHz radio to transmit at the same time.
