American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 November 12, 2002 RE: Mobile Communications Technologies, Inc. FCC ID: OW5BST800 I have a few comments on this Application. 1.) The device in question is a Part 22 AMPS band mobile Cellphone booster. Since most Part 22 800MHz band Cellular products utilize an analog AMPS-FM mode when roaming, it would be prudent to show how this device will operate under AMPS-FM conditions. Please include AMPS-FM data in the test report. Response : This does not apply as this device is for use with CDMA1 IS 95, CDMA1X, CDMA2000, WCDMA, and GSM with EDGE GPRS systems only. 2.) Maximum power for an 800MHz AMPS-FM product is usually ~600mW, while the minimum conducted power for a CDMA phone is typically -56dBm. Please provide a graph of input vs. output power from at minimum -56dBm to +28dBm input power. Please show where the 3dB compression point will occur. My concern is that excessive noise power in the system will limit or interfere with other users. Response : This does not apply as this device is for use with CDMA1 IS 95, CDMA1X, CDMA2000, WCDMA, and GSM with EDGE GPRS systems only. 3.) Please provide more detailed installation instructions so both bystanders and passengers will be limited in their RF Exposure by trunk, roof, and glass mount antennas. Response : Please refer to the revised installation instructions in the User Manual uploaded with this response. 4.) Labeling in manual is incorrect. Since this device is larger than the palm of the hand, the statement of 15.19(a)(1) should be shown on the exterior of the device. It should not appear in the manual. Response : The 15.19(a)(1) statement is not mandatory for this device however the client requests that this statement remain in the manual due to the growing number of automobiles with televisions. 5.) Information to user as specified in 15.21 is missing. Response : This statement has been added to the revised user manual that was uploaded with this response. 6.) Tune up procedures are missing. Response : Per the manufacturer, there is no tune up procedure for this device. 7.) Please provide power output readings for both input and output occupied bandwidth signals. Is channel power peak, average or something else? Response : Please refer to Section 6 of the revised test report, specifically Plots 6-2, 6-4 and 6-6, for the input and output levels and amplification. The channel power is peak, and is stated in the test report. 8.) Is Agilent communication analyzer listed in equipment list? If so indicate model, serial and calibration date. Response : A communication analyzer was not utilized for testing; a spectrum analyzer and a signal generator capable of measuring current-generation cellular modulation types were utilized, and these are included in the equipment list. 9.) Please show work in MPE Estimation located in RF Exposure Exhibit. Response : Please refer to the revised RF Exposure Exhibit uploaded with this response. William H. Graff President and Examining Engineer mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 November 14, 2002 RE: Mobile Communications Technologies, Inc. FCC ID: OW5BST800 I have additional comments on this Application. 1.) Your response to my request for information (1.) and (2.) in the November 12 application comments is unsatisfactory. This device appears to be designed for the “generic” 835MHz AMPS band Cellular market. It is not reasonable to assume that AMPS-FM will not be present, especially in fringe conditions where digital service has not yet been built out. My requests still stand. Response : Please see the plots uploaded with this response. 2.) Diagrams supplied for installation must be more explicit. Only the roof mount is addressed. Additional detail is required to assure MPE compliance for trunk and glass mount. Response : Please refer to the revised Installation Instructions uploaded with this response. 3.) Item (4.) from the November 12 comments – agreed. 4.) Tune-up procedure is a basic requirement of any device used in the Licensed services per Part 2 of the Rules. Please provide an appropriate exhibit. Response : Please refer to the Tune Up Procedure letter uploaded with this response. 5.) With regard to the RF Exposure Report, the maximum antenna gain listed is a 2.6dBi dual coil wire antenna. This does not match the antenna gain used in the calculations. Please resolve. Response : The calculation performed is a linear calculation. The 2.6dBi is 1.8 linear. William H.

To: Tom Vagenas From: Andy Leimer [email protected] FCC Equipment Authorization Branch Re: FCC ID: OW5BST800 Applicant: Mobile Communications Technologies Inc. Correspondence Reference Number: 8361 731 Confirmation Number: TC405444 Date of Original Email: 05/28/2003 Subject: Power 1) The highest power measured on the sample was approximately 3 dB less (30.8 dBm, 1.2 Watts) than that measured in the test report (3 Watts). Do you have any explanation? FYI: The device is power limiting. This is what we were requested to check. Applicant Response : We are not sure what kind of test was performed by the FCC (radiated or conducted) and at which frequency, the following may information may help: 1) The 3 watt ratings in the test report were the conducted tests (DUT directly connected to test instruments). 2) When ERP tests were conducted with certain antenna/coax cable combinations the ERP was as low as 30.3 dBm. Regards Tom Vagenas Mobile Communications Technologies, Inc.
