Subject: FCC part 15 unlicensed transmitter Professional installation request. Applicant: GE MDS LLC. Product: Mercury 5800 Model: Mercury wimax family NEW FCC ID’s: E5MDS-MERCODU5 Dear Sir/Madam, The MDS Mercury family of products is a Professional Installation Radio System and must be Installed by Trained Professional Installers, or Factory Trained Technicians. GE MDS has distributors, channel partners, and a field service department, that have all been trained in “Professional Installation” of part 15 unlicensed products. These products are NOT for sale to the general public and used for industrial applications where professional installers are used the system planning for path loss, cable selection, and antenna gain calculations. Our manual and all sales brochures will clearly list this system as “professional installation” is required. Below is an excerpt from our manual This section is designed to aid the professional installer in the proper methods of maintaining compliance with the FCC part 15 ERP limits. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me at 585 242-8440: Yours truly, Dennis McCarthy Agency Compliance Engineer GE MDS LLC 175 Science Parkway Rochester NY 14620 Phone (585) 242-8440 Email [email protected]

(ACB). We certify that we are not subject to denial of federal benefits, that includes FCC benefits, pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. 862. Further, no party, as defined in 47 CFR 1.2002 (b), to the application is subject to denial of federal benefits, that includes FCC benefits.

Letters should be placed on appropriate letterhead. 022311 – 6 Request for Confidentiality Date: 10/19/2011 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: E5MDS-MERCODU5 Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit Short Term Permanent Block Diagrams Short Term External Photos Short Term Permanent* 2 Internal Photos Short Term Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation Short Term Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM Short Term Permanent Tune-Up Procedure Short Term Permanent Schematics Short Term Test Setup Photos Short Term Permanent* User’s Manual *Note: ______(Insert Explanation as Necessary)______ GE MDS LLC has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality: Long term requested The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of NA days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ACB in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. ACB will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC. Sincerely, 2 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.”
