This would be done to facilitate the requirements of agencies covered under NTIA spectrum usage. Government agencies complying with NTIA instead of FCC must purchase their equipment from private industry manufacturers who are governed under FCC rules. The conflict in spectrum allocation detracts from the options available to government agencies for commercial off the shelf equipment which meets their required specifications such as the requirements stated in the Department of Interiors Narrowband Digital Radio Contract. Part 90 frequencies for UHF mobile transceiver 450 ~ 454 MHz – Land mobile – Part 90 456 ~ 460 MHz – Land mobile – Part 90 460 ~ 462.5357 MHz – Land mobile – Part 90 467.7375 ~ 470 MHz – Land mobile – Part 90 Part 90 “extended” frequencies 420 ~ 450MHz – not for mobile device. 454 ~ 455 MHz - Part 22 or Part 90 455 ~ 456 MHz – Part 74 462.5375 ~ 467.5375 MHz – Part 95 467.5375 ~ 467.7375 MHz – Part 95 If you have any questions regarding the authorization, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Regulatory Engineering Symbol Technologies, Inc. 1 Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Equipment Authorization Division 7345 Oakland Mills Road Columbia MD 21046 September 10, 2014 SUBJECT: FCC Application for FCC ID: H9PRA1202 To Whom It May Concern: I hereby appoint UltraTech Engineering Labs Inc. (UltraTech) to act as my agent in preparation of this application for authorization of above equipment under F.C.C. Rules. The applicant hereby certify that neither the applicant nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits, that include FCC benefits, pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §862 because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. See 47 CFR 1.2002(b) for the definition of a “party” for these purposes. I also certify that the information provided, properly describe the device or system for which authorization is required. I, hereby attest to the fact that we will apply the Verification Authorization procedure to the Part 15B - Unintentional Radiator portion of this composite filing. I, hereby request the following documents submitted with this application for certification be withheld from public disclosure as per Section 0.457 & 0.459 of FCC Rules. Operational Description Block Diagram Schematics Parts List The above materials contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. The public disclosure of these materials may be harmful to the applicant and provide unjustified benefits to its competitors. I, hereby confirm that the following requirements per FCC PART 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval of Sec 15.212 & Pubic Notice # DA 00-1407 are met for Modular Approval certification: Regulatory Engineering Symbol Technologies, Inc. 2 Modular Approval Checklist: Modular approval requirement Yes No The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. Yes The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. Yes The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. Yes The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. NO – all the devices using RA1202 are professionally installed The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). Yes The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. Yes The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. Yes The modular transmitter must comply with …
