AeroScout TM Location Receiver AeroScout TM System Overview The AeroScout Location Receiver is a component of the AeroScout wireless LAN location platform, which adds accurate location capability to Wi-Fi TM wireless networks. The AeroScout architecture stands out in several ways: • No modifications to mobile unit hardware or software. AeroScout works with standard laptops, PDAs, barcode scanners and other Wi-Fi wireless devices. This eliminates a major management challenge and enables simple implementation in public environments. • No dedicated backbone network. All communications between Location Receivers and the AeroScout Location Server use standard Ethernet connections and AeroScout achieves accurate measurement synchronization without the use of a dedicated network. • Locates equipment that is not Wi-Fi enabled. Small, battery-powered AeroScout Tags can be attached to a variety of equipment, such as medical devices, containers and shopping carts. • Open development platform. The AeroScout System includes a set of tools for designing, testing and implementing enterprise-class location- based applications. Key benefits Ease of installation: Location Receivers communicate with the AeroScout Location Server via standard Ethernet or wirelessly over a Wi-Fi network – no dedicated location network cabling is required. Location Receivers also support Power over Ethernet, eliminating costly electrical installation. Configuration is simple, as well: The installer executes all setup tasks from the Location Server’s System Manager software, which records the placement of a Location Receiver with a single mouse click. Performance: Bluesoft’s expertise in wireless signal measurement has led to the development of a range of patent-pending algorithms and techniques. Embedded in the Location Receiver, these measure the time of arrival (TOA) of standard 802.11b messages to the nanosecond. The Location Server processes this TOA data to produce accurate and reliable location data suitable for mission-critical applications. Each Location Receiver can process over ten location measurements per second, enough to satisfy even the most demanding applications. Coverage by a minimum of three Location Receivers suffices to enable location processing, and the coverage area of each receiver is much larger than that of standard access points.

DATA SHEET Platforms for Wireless Positioning Applications Platforms for Wireless Positioning Applications AeroScout TM Location Receivers provide robust measurement capabilities packaged in small, easy-to-install devices AeroScout TM Location Receiver Key benefits (cont.) Compliance: The product is fully compliant with Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.11b/g standards. The units do not interfere with the wireless local area network. Even when set up with a bridge to provide location- measurement data wirelessly, the volume of traffic Location Receivers generate is insignificant. Security: Location Receivers do not accept any Wi-Fi client associations, so they need not be placed on secure Ethernet ports and pose no security risks. In addition, together with appropriate security software, Location Receivers may be used as wireless intrusion-detection devices to detect and locate unauthorized use of access points and/or client devices.

Attached is Bluesoft's statement concerning the frequency range of operation in the U.S.A. and the operator's inability to change it. 2. Bluesoft's response concerning compliance with Section 15.203: "In the Location Receiver" we are using an Reverse Polarity SMA connector , this comply to the 15.203 requirement since this is not a standard connector or antenna and fulfill the requirement of unique coupling. We are using the same connector type like a Wireless Ethernet Bridge from Linksys ( a Cisco company) FCC ID PKW-WM11." 3. Bluesoft's response concerning inplementation of ferrite cores: "The Location Receiver unit is a part of a 802.11b location system, this system will be installed by Bluesoft or installation subcontractor which will be trained to install the Location Receiver only with the the ferrite cores equal in quantity and type to those used during Certification testing. In addition, the special information concerning the ferrites' installation will be described in Bluesoft's installation instruction documentation." 4. Concerning the EMCO 3102 antenna, it's an error and it should be EMCO 3115. Attached is the revised list of test equipment concerning Section 6 in the report (Spurious Radiation above 1GHz). 5. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Regards Shaike Raz EMC Laboratory Manager EMC Laboratory ITL (Product Testing) Ltd.

I have the following items that need to be addressed before completion of this review can occur. Please respond to the following items: 1) The technical specifications state that these devices will operate on WiFi channels 1-14, subject to local regulations. I need to have a statement to provide to the FCC that explains how the channel selection is made and states that the operator does not have the ability to change the channels to ones that are not allowed to be used in the US. 2) 15.203 antenna requirements, this device uses SMA connectors (per specification) and is not professionally installed. This appears to violate 15.203 requirements. Please state how this device complies with 15.203 requirements. 3) 15.27 special accessories. The report indicates that ferrites were added to the DC cable and the LAN cable. Please have the applicant provide confirmation as to how these will be implemented and ensure that the end product will comply. The following note will be on the grant “This device must be marketed with an interface cable which incorporates ferrite cores equal in quantity and type to those used during Certification testing.” 4) EMCO 3102 antenna is a Conical antenna according to the EMC Test Systems web site, although your report indicates that it is a Horn antenna. Please correct this discrepancy. Please provide the list of test equipment used for measurements from 1-25GHz. Double- ridged waveguide horn antennas are typically specified to operate up to 18 GHz. I will continue to review this application upon receipt of the items requested.
