Product Assessment 1.1 TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT: 1.1.1 Te chnical De scription The inFOREmer 2000 is a comprehensive data network having the ability to collect data from the global positioning satellites (GPS) and transfer data between a central computer and a variety of peripherals including base station, repeater, mobile handsets and charging cradles. The method of data communication is unique to the inFOREmer 2000 system and is achieved through a combination of w ireless radio and infra red (IR) technologies, as well as hard wired phone and fiber optic cables all managed by internet protocols. Wireless radio is used to communicate w ith the handsets w hile in operation on the golf course; IR links fiber optic cabling and a dedicated internet connection is used to communicate with the handsets while being recharged on the charging cradles. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the communication protocol used by the pace- of-play system to ensure reliability and maximum system availability. TCP/IP provides virtually unlimited expandability and unparalleled reliability and flexibility to meet future technological enhancements thereby offering a continually advanced, unique and competitive pace-of-play system. The TCP/IP protocol facilitates remote updating of Clubhouse Computer and handset software via the internet. Every inFOREmer 2000 system in operation will be updated with the latest software version in a transparent and trouble free manner for the golf course management and users. Each golf course will have a custom version of the proprietary software with maps and information relating to that specific golf course. The maps are created from digitized, image enhanced aerial photographs. The core technical features of the system are the ability to communicate with all the handsets in the field on a regular basis, and provide an accurate positioning reading at the handset that allows the golfer to read distances on the golf course to an accuracy of +/- 3 feet. This is done through the use of a GPS device w ithin the handset, w orking in unison w ith a radio link that provides error correction information from the clubhouse computer. This technology is know n as Differential GPS (“DGPS”). The core technical features of the system are the ability to communicate with all the handsets in the field on a regular basis, and provide an accurate positioning reading at the handset that allows the golfer to gauge distances on the golf course to an accuracy of +/- 1m. This is done through the use of a GPS device w ithin the handset, w orking in unison w ith a radio link that provides error correction information from the clubhouse. This is a technology know n as Differential GPS (D-GPS). The system is explained below. 1.1.2 System Components • Club House Computer The Club House Computer is the central hub, and is responsible for managing the communications process for the netw ork. It controls the routing information for w hich all the other units respond to or communicate with. It displays the User graphics at the clubhouse to allow the operator to monitor all aspects of the system, and more importantly, the golfers using the system.

Reproduction, or use without the specific written authorization of InFOREtech Golf Technology 2000 Inc. is strictly forbidden. Intergrated Project PlanRev. 1.02 • Base Station Interface The Base Station Interface Unit is a router that provides the communication link for the GPS and the Radios within the handsets. It is typically stored on or near the roof of the clubhouse, in close proximity to the RF and GPS antennas that are connected to it. • Handsets The handsets are the mobiles units in the system that provide the individual golfers with the information they require. The handsets are composed of a CPU, viewscreen, GPS receiver, radio and batteries which allows for twelve (12) hours of operation without re-charging. The system is designed to handle up to 150 handsets on the golf course typically. • Charging Station The charging station provides the means by which the handsets are charged, and also are communicated to for status monitoring, and new s/w updates. This is done through an IRDA link w hile each handset sits in it’s separate charging cradle. • Repeater The Repeater is used to provide Radio extension on the golf course where the main Base Station would otherwise not provide coverage. Not all courses will require a Repeater. The repeater is discussed in more detail in it’s own separate Functional Specification. • Network Monitoring Centre The system has been designed such that each product within the system is IP addressable. This allows for a very flexible Network Monitoring Capability to be included that provides the means to ensure the system is operating without problems, and to quickly service any problems that may occur. The Network Monitoring Centre will be able to access any system in the world, and either manage, monitor, or provide updated software to the units remotely. This will be done either through the Internet, or through a dedicated dial up line.

Examples of devices that operate under these rules include radio local area networks, cordless telephones, wireless cash registers, and wireless inventory tracking systems. The Commission frequency receives requests for guidance as to how to perform measurements to demonstrate compliance with the technical standards for such systems. No formal measurement procedure has been established for determining compliance with the technical standards. Such tests are to be performed following the general guidance in Section 15.31 of the FCC Rules using good engineering practice. The following provides information on the measurement techniques the commission has accepted in the past for equipment authorization purposes. Alternative techniques may be acceptable upon the consultation and approval by the Commission staff. The information is organized according to the pertinent FCC rule sections. Section 15.31(m): This rule specifies the number of operating frequencies to be examined for tunable equipment. Section 15.207: Power line conducted emissions. If the unit is AC powered, an AC power line conducted test is also required per this rule. Section 15.247(a)(2): Bandwidth. Make the measurement with the spectrum analyzer's resolution bandwidth (RBW) = 100 kHz. In order to make an accurate measurement, set the span >> RBW. Section 15.247(b): Power output. This is an RF conducted test. Use a direct connection between the antenna port of the transmitter and the spectrum analyzer, through suitable attenuation. Set the RBW > 6 dB bandwidth of the emission or use a peak power meter. Section 15.247(c): Spurious emissions. The following tests are required: 1. RF antenna conducted test: Set RBW = 100 kHz, Video bandwidth (VBW) > RBW, scan up through 10th harmonic. All harmonics/spurs must be at least 20 dB dow n from the highest emission level within the authorized band as measured with a 100 kHz RBW. 2. Radiated emission test: Applies to harmonics/spurs that fall in the restricted bands listed in Section 15.205. The maximum permitted average field strength is listed in Section 15.209. A pre-amp (and possibly a high-pass filter) is necessary for this measurement. For measurements above 1 GHz, set RBW = 1 MHz, VBW = 10 Hz, Sweep: Auto. If the emission is pulsed, modify the unit for continuous operation, use the settings show n above, then correct the reading by subtracting the peak-average correction factor derived from the appropriate duty cycle calculation. See Section 15.35(b) and (c). Section 15.247(d): Power spectral density. Locate and zoom in on emission peak(s) within the passband. Set RBW = 3 kHz, VBW > RBW, sweep = (Span / 3 kHz) e.g., for a span of 1.5 MHz, the sweep should be 1.5 x 10 6 / 3 x 10 3 = 500 seconds. The peak level measured must be no greater than +8 dBm. If external attenuation is used, don't forget to add this value to the reading. Use the following guidelines for modifying the power spectral density measurement procedure when necessary. • For devices with spectrum line spacing greater than 3 kHz no change is required. • For devices with spectrum line spacing equal to or less than 3 kHz, the resolution bandwidth must be reduced below 3 kHz until the individual lines in the spectrum are resolved. The measurement data must then be normalized to 3 kHz by summing the power of all the individual spectral lines within a 3 kHz band (in linear power units) to determine compliance. • If the spectrum line spacing cannot be resolved on the available spectrum analyzer, the noise density function on most modern conventional spectrum analyzers will directly measure the noise power density normalized to a 1 Hz noise power bandwidth. Add 30 dB for correction to 3 kHz. • Should all the above fail or any controversy develop regarding accuracy of measurement the Laboratory will use the HP 89440A Vector Signal Analyzer for final measurement unless a clear showing can be made for a further alternate. Valh all a Sy st ems Inc. 1999 Section 15.247(e): Processing Gain. The Processing Gain may be measured using the CW jamming margin me t ho d. Figure 1 shows the test configuration. The test consists of stepping a signal generator in 50 kHz increments across the passband of the system. At each point, the generator level required to produce the re comme nde d Bit Erro r Rate (BER) is re corde d. This le ve l is the jamme r le ve l. The out put po we r of the transmitting unit is measured at the same point. The Jammer to Signal (J/S) ratio is then calculated. Discard the worst 20% of the J/S data points. The lowest remaining J/S ratio is used when calculating the Processing Gain. In a practical system, there are always imple mentation losses which …
