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 Miltel data collection system is a computerized fully system incorporating one- way transmitters that automatically collect data from utility meters and/or other sensors. The system requires no human intervention after initial installation. The system enables remote, continuous and accurate reading of water or gas consumption. The Miltel Galaxy Pit2 transmits the data acquired from various sensors such as water meters, electric meters, to a receiver connected to a regional data concentrator. The concentrator transfers the data to the central computer for data collection and for further analysis and reporting. Page 4 of 14 Miltel Galaxy Pit2 Transmitter Chapter 2 Theory of Operation 2.1 General Description The Miltel Galaxy Pit 2 Transmitters the first link in the data collection system. It is an independent unit that does not require an external power source, wiring, or the preparation of any special infrastructure. The unit is installed in proximity to the physical sensor and can be connected to several different sensors in parallel (for example four water meters of adjacent apartment, etc). Pictures 2-1 (see next page) show typical installations of a Miltel Galaxy Pit 2 Transmitter unit. The unit can be connected to any type of sensor which has a digital output, analog output, dry contact pulsed output (a passive magnetic open/short reed relay), or any active pulse or encoded output. The Miltel Galaxy Pit 2 Transmitter acquires the data from the sensor and stores this data in its internal memory. The unit includes a miniature RF transmitter which transmits the data on a periodic basis to a regional concentrator.

This device consists of two major sections, all using a common power source: ¾ Digital section (Micro Controller) ¾ RF section A 3.6 volts Lithium battery provides power to all parts of the device. The power supply for the RF section is controlled via the Tx switch (not shown), thus cutting of power to the transmitter unless necessary for actual data transmission (standby mode).

If any of the counters/sensors has exceeded a preset value, or any alarm (such as tamper) has been received, the controller generates a single message immediately. Any further message will include alarm information along with counter data, if alarm condition still exists. Note: The duration interval betwe…

The public disclosure of these matters might be harmful to the Applicant and provide unjustified benefits to its competitors. The product is supplied to the customer in an epoxy potted tube that does not expose any of the internal components. The tube enclosure is manufactured and supplied as a non-intrusive device and can not be serviced or dismantled. The design of the antenna and the unique solution of fitting the transmitter and the antenna in such a small enclosure are in the process of patent application. The installer and the customer can not reveal any of the internal parts, therefore we request to keep the internal pictures confidential. The Applicant understands that pursuant to Rule 0.457, disclosure of the Application and all accompanying documentation will not be made before the date of the Grant for this Application. Sincerely, Yarum Locker Co- C.E.O.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 September 8, 2005 RE: Miltel Communications Ltd. FCC ID: MLLGLXPT2 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) The operational description mentions other components of the system. The concentrator appears to only be verified according to information in the operational description. Does this device contain a transmitter? Does it contain a RX. Note that if it contains a RX it would be subject to Certification or DoC as desired by the manufacturer. Please explain. 2) Please explain the limit of 118.2 on page 9 of the report. 3) Please verify your power results. From your tables I believe you corrected for the dBi of the antenna which would give the results in EIRP, not ERP. If I interpret you results correction, I believe the results would be 14.52 dBm ERP or 16.67 dBm EIRP. However is the correction in the table actually for dBi and not dBd. Please review. Note this may affect information given in the theory of operation, chapter 3 of the users manual, and elsewhere in the test report (page 6, etc.). Please review. Compare sections 7.3.4.5 and 7.1.3.4. Notice the difference between dBi and dBd. 4) Please explain the limit of -17.83 dBm on page 22. It was thought the limit is -20 dBm....Note that technically -20 dBm does not apply to 90.217. If the limit is based upon the 30 dB requirement of 90.217, then shouldn’t this limit vary for low, middle, and high channels. Please explain. 5) Please explain why the wide-span plots on page 33 appear to show much higher results that the independent measurement of each harmonic shown later on the following pages. 6) FYI....The table in 7.4.2 appears to assume a center frequency of 450 MHz, while the actual frequency appears to be 450.00625 MHz. A similar problem appears for the high frequency reported (470 assumed vs. 469.99375 MHz). Compliance can still be seen from the table provided however it would be best to report proper results. 7) Please provide calculations to support emissions designator. Timothy R.

Johnson, Examining Engineer RE: your e-mail dated September 8, 2005; Miltel Communications Ltd. FCC ID:MLLGLXPT2, ATCB002735 Dear Mr. Johnson, Please find below the answers to your questions. 1) The concentrator is connected to a Receiver device that has been certified. The device connected to the concentrator is Miltel’s Receiver/Repeater model 2A (FCC ID: MLLGL2RPT450). This device is sold with the concentrator. The user can not connect any other reception device. 2) The ERP limit is 120 mW. Equivalent field strength limit at 3 meter can be found using following equation: E limit[dBμV/m] = 20 x log 10 {√ 30 x EIRP [W] /r} + 120 = 20 x log 10 {√ 30 x ERP [W] x 1.64/r} + 120 [] mVdBE mVdB /2.118120 3 64.112.030 log20 10]/[limit μ μ =+         ×× ×= The revised Operational_description_16356_rev1, User_Manual_16356_rev1 and test report MILRAD_FCC.16356_rev1 with corrected pages 6, 7 was uploaded on September 15, 2005. 3) The test report page 9, Table 7.1.3 was revised for correct ERP value, refer to MILRAD_FCC.16356_rev1. Please state EIRP power in the grant if possible according to request of the manufacturer (MIltel) for marketing purposes. 4) The test report pages 18, 21, 22 were corrected. 5) Please refer to the explanation with illustration in the attachment below. 6) The Table 7.4.2 was corrected. 7) The device uses FSK modulation with the maximum frequency deviation +/- 3 kHz and the highest modulating frequency +/- 2.4 kHz. Upon this the necessary emission bandwidth is 2*(3.0+2.4)=10.8 kHz, and the correct emission designator is 10K8F1D. The revised ATCB Form 731 and Operational_description_16356_rev1 were uploaded on September 15, 2005. Thank you.
