1. The radio elements must have the radio frequency circuitry shielded. Physical components and tuning capacitor(s) may be located external to the shield, but must be on the module assembly; All components are located beneath a common shield. 2. The module must have buffered modulation/data inputs to ensure that the device will comply with Part 15 requirements with any type of input signal; There are no external modulation/data inputs 3. The module must contain power supply regulation on the module; The module contains an internal regulated power supply. 4. The module must contain a permanently attached antenna, or contain a unique antenna connector, and be marketed and operated only with specific antenna(s), per Sections 15.203, 15.204(b), 15.204(c), 15.212(a), 2.929(b); The module contains a permanently attached antenna. 5. The module must demonstrate compliance in a stand-alone configuration; All compliance testing is accomplished with no external components; only power, antenna, and grounded or floating test pins. 6. The module must be labeled with its permanently affixed FCC ID label, or use an electronic display The module will contain a FCC ID label. 7. The module must comply with all specific rules applicable to the transmitter. The grantee must provide comprehensive instructions to explain compliance requirements; All applicable rules will be provided in the user manual for the transmitter 8. The module must comply with RF Exposure (RFx) requirements. For any transmitters intended for use in portable devices, RFx compliance must be demonstrated to be independent of the host device. See KDB Publication 447498 as a guide to determine if a transmitter can be tested without being limited to a host device. If RFx compliance can only be demonstrated in specific host types or platforms, then the module type must be “limited.” Device will be demonstrated to comply with RFx requirements (mobile devices) independent of host device. This device is not intended for use in portable devices.

Request for Confidentiality Date: July 07, 2015 Subject: Confidentiality Request for: L2V-STGR/ IC: 3989A-STGR 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* i 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 Globalstar 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: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of N/A 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.
