The system is used for utility consumption readings collection system as well as for other applications such as in agricultural systems. This device is installed on-site by a professional field technician, thus it includes technical terms. The equipment is not to be installed by a non- professional individual that has not been trained and authorized. 1.2 System General Description The Receiver/Repeater 2A system is a computerized fully automatic radio device. It requires no human intervention after initial installation. The device acts as a store- and-forward radio relay. The Receiver/Repeater 2A operates as a receiver connected to a bases station or as a repeater that captures transmissions from a Miltel transmitter and, after validating the message, transmits the message again. When operating as a Repeater the device relays information from transmitters to a receiver that is connected to the base station which is typically implemented as a regional concentrator or as a standard PC. The concentrator/PC transfers the data to the central computer for data collection and for further analysis and reporting. When operating as a receiver, the device receives messages transmitted by Miltel transmitters or messages relayed by a repeater. The receiver can also send commands to any of the repeaters. 4 The Transceiver device is marketed as two models (as a receiver or as a repeater) and under three different commercial trade names (Speed Repeater 2A / Receiver 2A, Galaxy Repeater 2A / Receiver 2A and IrriWise Repeater 2A / Receiver 2A). The Transceiver device (both receiver and repeater) can be hooked up to a PC or to a laptop computer for programming purposes during system setup. 1.3 Theory of Operation The Receiver/Repeater 2A is the intermediate link in the wireless data collection system. It is an independent unit that operates as a repeater (radio relay) or as a collection device (receiver) linked to the base station. Figure 1-1 (see below) shows a typical installation of a Receiver/Repeater 2A unit. The device is powered by a 12 volt power supply or by a solar powered battery. The Receiver/Repeater 2A operates its radio receiver on a continuous basis until it receives a message from a nearby transmitter. After capturing the transmitted data message, it sends out an identical message which is forwarded to the Collector.

HERM O N LA BO RA TO RIES February 13, 2006 American TCB 6731 Whittier Ave Suite C110 McLean, VA 22101 Attn: Mr. T. Johnson, Examining Engineer RE: your e-mail dated February 4, 2006; Miltel Communications Ltd. FCC ID:MLLGL2RPT150, ATCB003053 Dear Mr. Johnson, Please find below the answers to FCC questions. 1) The device was tested as a stand-alone device. The FCC ID's of the transmitters that are part of the same system, were provided only in order to comply with the FCC requirement to publish this information. 2) The applicant, Miltel Communications Ltd., confirms that the repeater device demodulates the received signal and creates a new message that is then transmitted again as an FSK signal. The repeater includes two independent blocks: (i) a receiver module; and, (ii) a transmitter module. The receiver module "waits" for messages transmitted by end units, demodulates these incoming messages and then transfers the message(data) to the processor for analysis. The recognized messages are then retransmitted by the transmitter module. The link between the reception module and the transmission module is not an automatic hardware link, and every message is demodulated and then after processing transmitted again. This is done by the repeater’s internal processor that analyzes each valid message received by the receiver module and after adding information to the message, the repeater's processor sends a command to the transmitter module to transmit a new message (within a certain pre-defined delay). 3) The files “RF_Env_evaluation_16691” and “User_Manual_16691_rev1” (corrected page 7) were uploaded on February 13, 2006. Thank you. Sincerely, Marina Cherniavsky, certification engineer Hermon Laboratories

Power density limit for general population/uncontrolled exposure in 30 – 300 MHz frequency range is 0.2 mW/cm 2 . The power density P (mW/cm 2 ) = P T / 4π r 2 , where P T is the maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP), which is equal to: transmitter maximum output power 18 dBm plus maximum antenna gain 2 dBi and the maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power is 20 dBm = 100 mW. The power density P at 20 cm (minimum safe distance, required for mobile devices), calculated as follows: P = 100 mW / 4π (20 cm) 2 = 0.02 mW/cm 2 < 0.2 mW/cm 2 General public cannot be exposed to dangerous RF level.
