1 Tavor Building, P.O.B 336 Yokneam 20692, Israel January 27, 2003 American TCB 6731 Whittier Ave Suite C110 McLean, VA 22101 USA Subject: Request for confidentiality for a radio system outdoor unit, model GigAccess 2.4, FCC ID:QQ2-GA24 Dear Gentlemen, We apply to you with request to withhold WaveIP Ltd. trade secrets in Application for Certification for FCC ID:QQ2-GA24. These trade secrets can be found in the transmitter schematic diagram (1 page of this Application). Many thanks in advance. Sincerely yours Michael Dayan, Software Director WaveIP Ltd.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 February 4, 2003 RE: WaveIP Ltd. FCC ID: QQ2-GA24 I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) Page 2 of the operational description and page 8 of the users manual mention that this system is self installed, while section 2.4.3.2 mentions it must be installed by qualified personnel. Given the nature of this system and other information provided, this system should only be installed by qualified personell, please remove reference to “self installed” given in the operational description and users manual. 2) When compliance with the EIRP limit is achieved for various antennas by adjusting the transmit power at the time of installation, then professional installation of this transmitter is required. Please provide an attestation (including justification) that this system will only be professionally installed. 3) The installation manual must contain adequate instructions such that the correct transmit power can be chosen by the installers for any antenna being used. Please comment. 4) The schematics and internal photographs appear to show that two antennas may be connected simultaneously. Information within the application does not address multiple antennas. Please explain. 5) The operational description mentions that the output power gets adjusted so that the maximum EIRP will not exceed the regulation limit. Please confirm that the EIRP will not exceed +36 dBi with this system for any antenna used. 6) Since power output levels will affect compliance of the unit with the FCC's rules, explain what precautions are built into the system to keep the end user from adjusting the power output levels above +36 dBi. For example adjustment of this feature is only allowed by passwords used by the installers, maintenance personnel, etc. (reference 15.15(b)). 7) The operational description mentions integrated and detached antennas (section 2.4.3) However, only one set of results were included in the test report. Please provide specific information regarding the specific antenna configuration that was present in the sample tested. What was the output power of the system during this test? 8) Please note that both the highest gain and lowest gain antenna of each type (monopole, ¼ wave dipole, dish, patch, yagi, etc) must be tested for spurious emissions. Please note that simply a type directional or omnidirectional is not sufficient. More detail such as Monopole, ¼ wave dipole, dish, patch, yagi, etc. should be provided. The purpose of the lowest gain antenna is so that the EUT is operating at its highest available output power before power is reduced in order to test for case radiation. 9) Please provide a detailed list of all antennas (type, gain, manufacture, etc. to be approved with this device). Additionally, please provide photographs of all antennas to requested to be approved. 10) The operational description mentions reduction of the EIRP so that the device stays under +36 dBi. However, the RF exposure calculation shows no reduction of the output power. Please note that RF exposure exhibit should be consistent with the information presented in the report. Also, it appears that for purposes of RF exposure, that this device should be classified as a fixed device (distance between user and antenna is > 2 meters) or mobile device (distance between user and antenna is > 20 cm). Please updated the RF exposure exhibit and test report section 4.3 to include how the device is categorized and also to be consistent with the application. Note that if +36 dBi is the maximum EIRP, then the device should meet the 20 cm requirement. Additionally, it is not certain why 2 different RF exposure distances (20 cm and 50 cm) are given in the manual. 11) Please note that RF exposure conditions have not been addressed for co-located antennas. 12) The test setup photographs only show 1 configuration tested. Additionally, are photographs available for > 1 GHz? 13) Please explain the difference between p2p and p2mp sectors. 14) Section 2 of the test report states conducted emissions are N/A. Please note that this device must show compliance with 15.107 and 15.207 since it obtains its power from a host device. Please provide data to show compliance with this. --- Continued on Next Page --- z Page 2February 4, 2003 15) Please confirm that a change in the data rate does not affect the bandwidth of the TX envelope. If the envelope changes, then please provide more data at different data rates to show compliance with the minimum 6 dB bandwidth. 16) FYI. Proposed Grant Comments: Grant Conditions – This device must be professionally installed. Marketing to the general public is prohibited. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meters from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. Timothy R.

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. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 February 27, 2003 RE: WaveIP Ltd. FCC ID: QQ2-GA24 I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) The original test report and users manual lists 2 antennas that information was not been received on (36010/HN/NV, 36428/NH/NV). Please provide this information. Note: if these are of the same type antenna as the MA-WC24-6X and MA-WC24-5X antennas, since the gain is equal to or less than the MA-WC24-6X antenna, further testing with these antennas will not be necessary. 2) The original test report lists a model MTI 364023/N antenna. The users manual does not list this antenna, nor has information been provided on this antenna. Therefore evaluation of this antenna regarding any necessary testing requirements has not been done. Please comment or provide further information for this antenna. 3) The antenna information previously provided listed a 17 dBi gain parabolic dish antenna model 18T-2400-1 which was included in the information for the 26T-2400-1. This antenna does not appear to be listed in the test report or manual. If this antenna was used, it would require testing since the device would operate at full power (the other model tested required a reduction in power). Please confirm this antenna is not going to be used. 4) Appendix C shows a +24 dBi gain antenna without any reduction in power. Please explain when your previous response confirmed that no combination of antennas/power would exceed +36 dBi (this is also given in users manual section 2.4.3.2 and appendix D). 5) Appendix C should clearly list the requirements for all antennas. Only 10 antennas have been shown. This device is being approved with 15 (or 16 antennas, depending on #2 above). If this has been consolidated based on antenna gain, please note that +14 dBi and +23 dBi antennas were not included in this table and that +24 dBi was listed twice. 6) Regarding the new RF exposure exhibit provided. Please either add a explanation that the output EIRP will never exceed +36 dBi for any antenna combination used, therefore the above calculations are representative for worse case RF exposure conditions for all antennas that may be used. 7) The test reports reference antenna's by type and gain. Please provide an entire list of all antennas being approved, including type, gain, model number, and manufacturer, which specific models were tested, and also the classification of the antenna (mobile or fixed). Note that currently if all antennas meet +36 dBi, then they may all be classified as mobile. 8) The new test report shows 5 antennas. Please explain which configuration was present for the original test report. 9) Please confirm the RBW and VBW settings used for final measurements in the new test report for both Peak and Average measurements. 10) Please explain why the data on plot B17 (page 28 of 175) is much higher than the data reported on page 7 of 175. Assuming the final measurement used a larger RBW and the fact that the peak is not at the edge of the plot suggests the final measurement should have been higher. 11) Plot B35 appears to show a reading at approximately 40 MHz over the limit. Please explain. 12) The new test report for appears to show that most of the measurements were made with the horn antenna positioned in the vertical polarity. The test photographs it appears that some TX antennas were positioned in vertical polarity, while others were positioned in horizontal polarity during the test. Please note that both horizontal and vertical polarity should have been checked. Please comment if this was checked for each configuration. ---- Continued on Next Page --- z Page 2February 27, 2003 13) Please explain how this system plans to be installed with co-located antennas given only one output for the device. In order to help address co-location concerns, complete information must be provided (and ultimately will need to be addressed in the users manual) that includes a complete list of what antennas may be co-located (assumed for some directional antennas), what antenna may not be located (assumed to be all omni-directional antennas), and their specific setup configurations must be know to adequately address RF exposure issues. Please explain if a "site" is expected to consist of multiple EUT's as given in this application or are other types of transmitters also involved. Please provide information regarding the specific arrangement of antennas expected, distance from each other, etc. Also, a complete explanation of how the system meets the requirement of 15.247(b)(3)(iii) must be addressed. Also note that prior to this point, co-location has not been addressed in the RF exposure requirements. 14) FYI. Proposed Grant Comments To Be Determined. Timothy R. Johnson 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 March 6, 2003 RE: WaveIP Ltd. FCC ID: QQ2-GA24 I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. Please note that previously this application was not reviewed for > 36 dBi point to point applications. 1) Please correct the test report to remove reference to the MT364023 antenna. 2) Please note that if you intend to market the device as a system that requires professional installation for certain installations, and does not require professional installation for other installations, in order to track the different systems in the field and the necessary requirements of each the FCC has typically required different FCC ID's for each system. Therefore the following options exist: a) Require professional installation for all installations b) Provide 2 applications, one for each condition. Please confirm how to proceed with this issue. Additionally, please address the method of marketing so as to preclude the possibility of non-professional installation (e.g., if you sell it at Radio Shack, then it may not be professionally installed). 3) Please provide an updated information on the MT-363010/HN/NV antennas that includes photographs or pictures of these antennas. 4) The users manual must include information that it is the installers responsibility that when using approved parabolic dish antennas, that the system is used exclusively for fixed point to point operations and may not be co-located with other intentional radiators transmitting the same information. 5) The previously provided (separate exhibit) for RF exposure shows a reduction in power for the 24 dBi gain antenna. Please update this separate exhibit for the following: a) The reduced power configuration should explain that the output EIRP power will never exceed + 36 dbi for any point to multipoint application, therefore the above calculations are considered representative for worse case RF exposure conditions for these applications. b) Add calculations for the worse case point to point application. 6) Appendix A of the users manual only mentions point to point applications (which must be clearly pointed out in the users manual) for the parabolic dish applications. However, Appendix C shows +23 and +24 dBi applications for both point to point and point to multipoint. Please adjust the users manual. 7) Note that the previous question regarding co-location may have been misunderstood. Co-location occurs when multiple antennas are present at a specific site (similar to a cell tower). The users manual mentions locating multiple AU or SU together. Please explain if a "site" is expected to consist of multiple EUT's as given in this application or are other types of transmitters also involved. Additionally if the device may be co-located with other antennas at a site, co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3) must be satisfied. Timothy R.

FCC ID: QQ2-GA24 I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. 1) Please provide the corrected appendix A for the users manual as specified in the previous response for questions 6. 2) Information must be added to the manual which states "It is the installers responsibility that when using approved parabolic dish antennas in point to point operations, that they may not be co-located with other intentional radiators transmitting the same information. 3) Regarding the co-location issue, I will need to determine the appropriate grant notes for this. I should be able to issue the grant tomorrow once I have determined this. Timothy R.

HERMON LABORATORIES March 6, 2003 American TCB 6731 Whittier Ave Suite C110 McLean, VA 22101 Attn: Mr. T. Johnson, Examining Engineer RE: your e-mail dated March 6, 2003; WaveIP Ltd. FCC ID: QQ2-GA24 Dear Mr. Johnson, Please find below the answers to your questions. 1. The test report WAVRAD_FCC.15365_rev2 with corrected page 9 (removed reference to MT 364023 antenna, corrected names of 364028/NV, 363010/HN/NV) was uploaded on March 6, 2003 via Test Report folder. 2. WaveIP intends to market the GigAccess product as a system that requires professional installation for all installations. It is mentioned in the User Guide. Please see warnings at page 17 (middle and bottom), page 18 (bottom). The User Guide_030603 was uploaded on March 6, 2003 via Users Manual folder. 3. An updated information on MT-363010/HN and MT-363010/VN antennas and photographs of these antennas were uploaded on March 6, 2003 via Additional information (WaveIP Antennas_photos, . 4. The 24 dBi parabolic dish antenna can be used for point-to-multi-point and for point-to-point applications. • When using the parabolic dish for point-to-multi-point: The installer is responsible for adjusting the output power so that the EIRP will not exceeds 36dBm. see the important warning on page 17 at the bottom, and see also paragraph 2.4.3.2. • When using the parabolic dish for point-to-point: the limitation of 36dBm is not exsists any more. We are following the FCC rule 15.247(b)(4)(i): Systems “that are used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi provided the maximum peak output power of intentional radiator is reduced by 1 dB for every 3 dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi” The above is relevant for max transmitting power (before antenna) of +30 dBm. Therefore if the transmiting power is 18.5 dBm we can use the 24 dBi antenna without reducing the 18.5 dBm tx power and reach an EIRP of +42.5 dBm. The following table gives the max transmit power and EIRP versus antenna gain for point-to-point. HERMON LABORATORIES Max Transmit Power [dBm] Antenna Gain [dBi] EIRP [dBm Remarks 30 6 36 29 9 38 28 12 40 27 15 42 26 18 44 25 21 46 24 24 48 GigAccess max Tx Power is much lower than permitted by FCC 23 27 50 22 30 52 21 33 54 20 36 56 19 39 58 18 42 60 This is the EIRP limitation for point-to-point for 18dBm tx power. Due to the fact the EIRP could exceeds 36 dBm for point-to-point this option is protected by password. (see 2.4.3.2 and 10.4.1 page 45 at the top). In addition the following warning exsists in the User Guide page 17: “To comply with the FCC 15.247(b)(4)(iii), the equipment should be professionally installed. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the system is used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operation!” 5. HL 6. Appendix A was updated. 23 dBi and 24 dbi antennas are ideals for “Long Range Multipoint and for point- to-point”. 7. In GigAccess solution co-location occurs when multiple antennas are present at a specific site (similar to cell tower). The GigAccess base station site is expected to consist a multiple EUTs and no other types of transmitters involved. Written by : Michael Dayan, Software Director WaveIP Ltd. 5. HL: The “Exposure_ limit_15365_new.doc” uploaded on February 19, 2003 contains calculations for output EIRP of +36 dBm for point-to-multipoint applications (done according to your request dated February 4, 2003, clause 10 and recommendations for spurious emissions measurements with all types of antennas). The “Exposure_limit_15365.doc” uploaded on January 30, 2003 contains calculations for output EIRP: measured Tx output power 18.4 dBm + 24 dBi (maximum antenna gain) = 42.4 dBm for point-to-point applications. Timothy, please clarify, what calculations should be done. Many thanks for your support and patience. Sincerely, Marina Cherniavsky, Certification engineer Hermon Laboratories

HERMON LABORATORIES March 3, 2003 American TCB 6731 Whittier Ave Suite C110 McLean, VA 22101 Attn: Mr. T. Johnson, Examining Engineer RE: your e-mail dated February 27, 2003; WaveIP Ltd. FCC ID: QQ2-GA24 Dear Mr. Johnson, Please find below the answers to your questions. 1. Attached is the data sheet for the requested antennas: Horizontal/Vertical, 13dBi (90 deg) Base Station Antennas - MT-363010/HN/NV. (The antennas number spelled wrong as 36010/HN/NV in the User Guide and therefore was fixed in the attached User Guide). Note that HN stand for Horizontal and NV for Vertical. 17dBi (90 DEG) Base Station Antenna - MT-364028/NV. (The antenna number was spelled wrong as 36428/HN/NV in the User Guide and was also fixed). The data sheets were uploaded on March 3, 2003 via Additional Information. 2. We confirm that MTI 364023/N antenna is not available right now. It is not included in WaveIP approved antenna list. 3. We confirm that 18T-2400-1 antenna is not available right now. It is not included in WaveIP approved antenna list. 4. The EIRP that exceeds 36 dBm was for point-to-point application only! In order to eliminate any possible misunderstanding the Table 6.1 in Appendix C was divided into two tables: one for point-to-multi-point and one for point-to-point. For Point to Multi Point (p2mp) applications the max EIRP should never exceed +36 dBm. For Point to Point (p2p) application the max EIRP can be greater than +36 dBm according to FCC 15.247(b)(4)(i). A note was added that configuring the system to operate in point-to-point can be done only by a professional installer. Configuration is protected by password of administrator privilege only. See 2.4.3.2. and see paragraph 10.4.1. The revised User Guide_030303 was uploaded on March 3, 2003 via User Manual. 5. Appendix C of the User Guide was updated. The +13 dBi, +14 dBi and +23 dBi antennas were added. The 24 dBi antenna that was listed twice is listed now in two different tables one for point-to-multi-point and one for point-to-point (as mentioned above). 6. The RF exposure (Appendix D) was updated as follows: a) The +13 dBi, +14 dBi +23dBi antennas were added. b) The 24 dBi antenna is listed in two different tables: One for point-to-multi-point and one for point-to- point. The calculation of the RF exposure is different for the two type of applications. According to FCC 15.247(b)(4)(i) limit of the EIRP in point-to-point can exceed 36 dBm. Since point-to-point is a fixed application, we amended the safety distance in this case into 2 m. See page 35 in the User Guide. HERMON LABORATORIES 7. The antennas that were tested are listed belo…
