Alcatel 1000 Coit Rd., Plano, Texas, 75075 August 09, 2002 ALCATEL USA WIRELESS TRANSMISSION DEVISION 1000 Coit Rd. Pano, Tx 75075 To Whom It May Concern: MDR-8X05u- XX RADIOS MUST BE PRO FESSIONALLY INSTALLED AND THERFORE THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM THE ANTENNA RESTRICTIONS (FCC PART 15.203), INCLUDING INFORMATION ON ANTENNAS USED FOR TESTING The above statement is in regard with the professional installation of the MDR-8X05u-XX radios (MDR-8505u-2, MDR-8505u-4, MDR-8505u-8, MDR-8505u-16, MDR-8605u-45) and the antennas used for testing. The MDR-8X05u-XX radios must be professionally installed and for that reason they are exempt from the antenna restrictions of the FCC Part 15.203. ALCATEL developed and manufactured this radio. These radios are part of the larger MDR- 8000/i/s/u series Microwave Digital Radio that provides transport for DS1, E1, DS3, and OC3 in 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11Ghz licensed frequency bands. The MDR-8X05u-XX family of radios uses digitally modulated signals and it is to be certified for operation under Part 15.247 of the FCC Rules (including the new rules adopted under Docket No. 99- 123). The radio is designed for point-to-point communications in the 5.725-5.850Ghz band and will provide transport for 2DS1, 4DS1, 8DS1, 16DS1 capacities using 32 TCM modulation scheme and 1DS3 capacity with 64QAM modulation scheme. Due to the unique requirements of installation and turn-on procedures, typical consumers or businesses will not have the proper training required for successful implementation of these radios. The MDR-8X05u-XX radios are not designed for use by general public, and will be sold through ALCATEL sales department only, or 3 rd party distributors, to professional communications users in the following category: regional Bell operating companies, telecommunication companies, personal communication service companies, power electric utilities, etc These companies will either use their professional telecommunications engineering staff to carry out the installation or will subcontract to professional installation firms. The MDR-8X05u-XX radios will be used for point –to-point communications only, as fixed, permanent or temporary links requiring the use of directional antennas mounted outdoor, usually on a tower. These antennas have narrow beamwidths and require a professional installer for alignment. Alcatel 1000 Coit Rd., Plano, Texas, 75075 The maximum transmit power of the MDR-8X05u-XX radio is 1Watt(30dbm) and it is adjusted in the factory during the final tests. However the output power can be adjusted to lower levels by professional installer during installation. The method of adjusting the output power is described in the manual written for use by professional trained installers. This radio is sold without antenna and the customer chooses from commercially available antennas. Theodore Timaru Electrical Design Engineer RF Design Wireless Transmission Division

- 1 - FCC Part 15.247 Digital Modulation Technique Certification Alcatel 1000 Coit Rd., Plano, Texas, 75075 Exhibit: Bloc Diagram 2.6 Functional Description This section presents a short functional description of the MDR–8000 series radios. The descriptive information covers the radio main functions only. Theory of operation, module description, turnup procedures and maintenance are located in the MDR-8000/i/s/u Instruction Book. 2.6.1 MDR–8000 Main Functions See figure 1–1. In the transmit direction the MDR–8000 uses a modulation structure where the I and Q baseband signals modulate the in–phase and quadrature phase components of the transmitter. The DS1/E1 I/O interface converts the format of the incoming DS1/E1 data streams to I,Q, data, and clock. The DS1/E1 I/O interface module uses the DS1/E1 signals to generate 32 or 128 trellis code amplitude modulated (TCM) baseband signals The transmitter processes the TCM baseband signals to generate the modulated TCM RF signal. The RF signal is then amplified and applied directly to the antenna branching or further amplified by a solid–state amplifier (optional) and applied to the antenna branching. The DS3 I/O interface converts the format of the incoming DS3 and Wayside (WS) DS1 data streams to I, Q, data, and clock. The I/O interface module uses the DS3 signals to generate 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulated (QAM) baseband signals. The transmitter processes the QAM baseband signals to generate the modulated QAM RF signal. The RF signal is then amplified and applied directly to the antenna branching or further amplified by a solid–state amplifier (optional) and applied to the antenna branching. In the receive direction, the MDR–8000 uses a demodulation conversion structure. The received TCM or QAM RF signal is fed into a filter followed by a receiver module. The receiver module directly converts the RF signal to I and Q baseband signals and provides all of the acquisition loops. The receiver also provides countermeasures to dynamic path distortions. Clock and digital data are extracted from the analog channels and passed on to the I/O interface. The digital data is processed by the I/O interface module and converted to a DS1/E1 or DS3 format. The MDR–8000 consists of I/O, transmit, receive, control and monitor, and power distribution subsystems. - 2 - FCC Part 15.247 Digital Modulation Technique Certification Alcatel 1000 Coit Rd., Plano, Texas, 75075 DS1/E1 Non-Standby System Functional Block Diagram Figure 2.6.1-DS1/E1 Non–Standby System Functional Block Diagram

The optional PA module is available for high–power requirements. There are different levels for the different frequency bands. Refer to the electrical characteristics table in this section for specific levels. 2.5.3 Differential Absolute Delay Equalization (DADE) DADEing adjusts the differential absolute delay between the main and diversity signals in a space diversity configuration. DADEing is an automatic function within the DS1/E1 and OC3 MDR– 8000/i/s/u receivers, reducing the time required for initial turn–up and test. 2.5.4 Trellis Encoding and Time Domain Equalization (TDE) Trellis encoding (DS1/E1/OC3) ensures that even with the most severe multipath, only the correct digital data is demodulated. TDE further reduces the disruptive effects of multipath distortion. 2.5.5 MCS–11 Alarm/Control Interface MCS–11 is standard in the MDR–8000. The MDR–8000 can interface with any alarm system that is based on the MCS–11 protocol.

After the license is received, the unlicensed radio can be easily converted to the lower 6 GHz licensed band. The MDR8X05u radio operates in the 57255850 Information, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band in accordance with FCC Part 15.247. This unlicensed radio, although opperating in the same band as a spread spectrum radio, operates using narrower bandwidths than spread spectrum. Advantages, disad vantages, and antenna recommendations for the unlicensed radio follow: 2.3.1 Advantages •Fast installation and turnup •2, 4, 8, 16 DS1 and 1 DS3 capacities •Field convertable to lower 6 GHz licensed band •Field expandable to higher capacities. •Common network management with licensed radios. •Common spares and training with licensed radios 2.3.2 Disadvantages •No interference protection •Operating restrictions •5.725 to 5.850 GHz band •Performance could deteriorate due to interference as the frequency band becomes con gested. 2.3.3 Antenna Recommendations •Frequency  5.8 GHz •Size and Type  2,4, 6, 8, or 10 foot parabolic; 1 or 2 foot flat panel. •Gain and Beamwidth (3 dB) •2 ft parabolic  29 dB/6° •4 ft parabolic  35 dB/3° •6 ft parabolic  38 dB/2° •8 ft parabolic  41 dB/1.5° •10 ft parabolic  42.5 dB/1.2° •1 ft flat panel  23 dB/9° MDR8000 Series Radios3DH03220 ApplicationsIssue 6, April 2002 22 •2 ft flat panel  28 dB/4° NOTE When using a 1 ft flat panel antenna with a 1 watt (+30 dBm) output power, the antenna must be located in an area that doe not allow the general population access to within 5 feet of the antenna.

RF RADIATION EXPOSURE RF Safety Rules Based on ET Docket No. 93-62. - http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety All Details are in OET Bulletin 65 - http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins/#65 Parabolic Antennas ?Near-Field or Fresnel Region: The radiation is substantially confined within a cylindrical pattern having the same diameter as the antenna. This region may be considered to extend out from the antenna to a distance of R nf as defined on the following slide.* ?Transition Region: Since the distance to the far-field region is two to three times the length of the near- field region, there is a transition region between the two.* Within the transition region the power density decreases inversely with distance. ?Far-Field or Fraunhofer Region: At a substantial distance from an antenna, the power density begins to decrease in proportion to the inverse square of the distance from the antenna. This occurs at a distance from a parabolic antenna where the difference in path length between a ray on the axis of the beam, and a ray from the edge of the antenna to a given point on the beam axis, is less than 1/16 of a wavelength. This region begins at a distance designated as R ff as defined on the following slide. R nf = Distance from the antenna to Near-Field boundary (ft). R ff = Distance from the antenna to Far-Field boundary (ft). D= Diameter of antenna (ft). ?= Wavelength (ft).F= Frequency (GHz). Ra…
