Cover Letter(s)

February 15, 2002 Dear Sir/madam, Ensemble Communications is submitting its family of Fiberless 3900 units for Certification under Part 101 of the FCC rules. The Fiberless 3900 units are transceivers that operate in the 38.65 GHz-39.8 GHz range. The Fiberless Access System, of which the Fiberless 3900 series are a part of, is a third- generation point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access system. The Fiberless Access System uses a patented, proprietary technology called Adaptix that makes the system particularly cost efficient for network operators to deploy. In addition, Adaptix allows network operators to offer new, differentiated services to their subscribers, positioning them ahead of their competition in the marketplace. As part of the FCC part 101 submission, we are submitting the Operator’s Guide to the Fiberless System for ATM Networks. This manual is only provided to individuals and corporations that have executed Non-Disclosure Agreements with Ensemble. The reason for this is that the Operator’s Guide to the Fiberless System for ATM Networks contains technical details that describe the implementation and operation of many of the proprietary features in the Fiberless System. For this reason we request that the entire Operator’s Guide to the Fiberless System for ATM Networks not be made available to the general public. Sections 3, 4,5 and 6, which describe the physical installation of the Fiberless System, can be made available. Sincerely, Jason Greenwood Member of Technical Staff Ensemble Communications Inc.

Test Report

February 27, 2002 Dear Sir/madam, Ensemble Communications is submitting its family of Fiberless 3900 units for Certification under Part 101 of the FCC rules. The Fiberless 3900 units are transceivers that operate in the 38.65 GHz-39.8 GHz range. In response to your question regarding our compliance to section 101.131(c) of the FCC part 101 rules. We feel that the Fiberless 3900 series of transceivers meets the intent of section 101.131(c) for the following reasons: 1. There are indicator lamps on the Indoor units that indicate when the Outdoor Unit (transceiver) is operating. 2. The Power to the transceivers can be turned off at the source, which is the Indoor Units. 3. There is no RF exposure hazard to the general public when the transceivers are operated at full power. 4. There is sufficient power control circuitry/software to ensure that the transceiver will be shutdown should a failure be encountered (fail Safe). 5. The Outdoor Units are installed in a restricted area that is not accessible to the general public. 6. The Outdoor Unit cannot be operated independently of the Indoor Unit i.e. the transceiver only radiates signals when it is intended to radiate. The transceiver can only be put into transmit mode via the Indoor Unit. Sincerely, Jason Greenwood Member of Technical Staff Ensemble Communications Inc.

Report#: Radio-TR-001-v0.1 Issue Date: 12 February 2002 Title: Test of the Fiberless TM 3900 Series Outdoor Unit - Base Station (BS) and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) To CFR 47 part 101, subpart C (Oct 1998) Page: 5 of 144 1 Executive Summary Purpose The purpose of this test program was to demonstrate compliance of the Ensemble Fiberless 3900 (CPE ODU) and the Fiberless 39XXX (Base Station ODU, where XXX are used to define the sector size and polarization) 39 GHz LMDS outdoor unit (ODU) transceivers against the current FCC technical standards for digital radio relay system authorization requirements. The ODU transceiver demonstrated compliance against the standard “FCC CFR 47, part 101, Subpart C (1998-10). EUT Description Consisting of four major components - the 16200 Series BS-IDU, 320 Series CPE-IDU, 3900 Series ODU transceivers, and the Fiberless Management System (FMS) - the Ensemble Fiberless¥ System represents the highest functionality, the most flexible, and most easily deployable system on the market today. The 16200 Series Base Station Indoor Unit and 320 Series Customer Premises Equipment Indoor Unit operate with a range of outdoor unit transceivers in the range of 10 to 45 GHz. The configuration tested operates in the 38.65 to 39.8GHz frequency band. Both the 16200 Series BS-IDU and the 320 Series CPE-IDU are connected to the 3900 Series ODU transceivers by a single RG-6 coaxial cable and can be separated by up to 1000 feet. The 16200 Series Base Station indoor unit, a 19” or 23” rack mountable, 10U box, features hot swappable cards for easy servicing and growth. It is designed to support up to eighteen 25 MHz carriers with network interfaces ranging from a single DS-3/E3 up to multiple OC-3s/STM-1s. Overall, a single base station rack can terminate up to 1.2 Gbit/s of backhaul network capacity supplied from TDM, IP, or ATM networks. The 320 series CPE indoor unit is a compact 1.5U high, rackable/stackable box supporting up to 12 service ports. Combining the functionality of a broadband, burst modem and a multiservice access concentrator, the unit is customisable and scalable through deployment of different types of cards in three expansion slots. Interfaces offered include the full range for voice and data connections including T1/E1, 10/100BT, and V.35. Available services include TDM, Frame Relay, Ethernet, Native IP, FXO and FXS. Flexible deployment schemes allow multiple subscribers to be connected to a single CPE indoor unit or multiple CPE indoor units to be connected to a single CPE outdoor unit. …
