If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact me at [email protected] On behalf of Airespace, David Waitt ATCB 1) Please provide a block diagram. Airespace: The Block diagram was submitted as page 1 of the schematic. The Block diagram has been extracted from that document and resubmitted as a separate document. ATCB 2) The label should include the 2 part FCC statement. Airespace: The flowing Class A statement will be added to the label. A new label exhibit has been uploaded to the ATCB site. RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. ATCB 3) Please provide an operational description exhibit. Airespace: An operational description has been uploaded to the ATCB site ATCB 4) Please provide a users manual. This should include all appropriate FCC statements and RF exposure statements. Airespace: A Quick Installation Guide (Users Guide) has been uploaded to the ATCB site ATCB 5) The schematics appear to be incomplete. It would be expected to see 2 complete RF radios, and 2 amplifier circuits. The FCC requires the complete RF path to be submitted. Airespace: Inadvertently the entire schematic was not previously uploaded. The schematic consists of three parts. The main board that houses the two “radios” and the two Bi-directional amplifiers (2.4GHz and 5 GHz). All three of these schematics have been uploaded to the ATCB site ATCB 6) The RF exposure information mentions 13 and 14 dBi antennas as well. Airespace: The MPE document has been edited to remove these incorrect references. ATCB 7) Spectral density tests should be performed with the VBW > RBW. Airespace: The PSD plots have been redone with VBW> RBW ATCB 8) Labels on pages 43 – 44 appears incorrect. Airespace: The labels were incorrect and have been fixed and verified to be correct. ATCB 9) Page 56 does not appear to match information on page 49. Airespace: The error has been corrected. The correct data now appears in the table on page 49 ATCB 10) This device appears to incorporate a standard N antenna connection. To meet the requirements of 15.203 using a standard connector, this device must be limited to Professional Installation only. Airespace: A letter outlining the requirements for professional installation has been prepared and uploaded to the ATCB site.

110 Nortech Parkway San Jose, CA, 95134 (408) 635 2000 www.airespace.com To: Mr. Tim Johnson, American TCB From: David Waitt Subject: FCC ID: QTZ1300 Date: March 25, 2005 This letter addresses your compliance concerns regarding the IC application for the access point radio referenced above. If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact me at [email protected] On behalf of Airespace, David Waitt ATCB 1) The new label provided appears to be identical to the original label. Additionally the statement of concern to add to the label is actually contained in 15.19(a)(3). The statement provided in the response does not appear correct. Airespace: The incorrect label was inadvertently uploaded. A correct drawing showing the label and the label location has been uploaded. ATCB 2) Please explain compliance to 15.15 of the rules for this device regarding selection of TX frequencies. Airespace: The operational bands of the outdoor are not selectable in that both software and hardware (there is significant band-pass filtering around the 5.8 GHz ISM band), prevent operation of the radio on the lower UNII bands nor will the software allow the radio to be configured to transmit above channel 11 on the 2.4 GHz band. ATCB 3) Users manual concerns: It appears that the manual was taken from a previous device and has many errors. Please review and correct as necessary. For instance: a) The users manual mentions not to install > 140 feet apart for multiple installations. Given the power and antennas for this system, expected outdoor use, this appears to be unusual. b) The users manual mentions point to point, although this application does not support this. Please correct the users manual. c) The deployment statement mentions indoor use only which contradicts the expected use of this device. d) Page 10 appears to mention incorrect information regarding external antennas (types of connectors, etc.) Please review/correct. e) Page 1, 10, 11 mention internal antennas, which are not part of this device. Please correct. f) The antenna gain information on page 12 appears lower than expected. Airespace: Airespace: It is correct that the manual for this product is being created by editing an existing manual for another product. Since the editing process is still underway, there were and possible still are some remaining errors in the preliminary manual. However the concerns raised have been addressed. ATCB 4) Please update the data tables for the new spectral density results. Airespace: The table in the report have been corrected.

Hey Tim, Actually I verified this morning that the amp is NOT tunable after it leaves the factory. Manual guy did not know this assumed it was "Field Tunable". This makes a lot more sense to me haveing seen the amp... who is going to tweak up a 5.8 GHz amp in the field? The other references to internal are also errors left over from the previous life of the manual. From: "david waitt \(Yahoo\)" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Review of Application Airespace Inc.

15 March 2005 To: Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 Subject: Theory of Operation of Airespace Outdoor Radio QTZ1300 Gentlemen, The outdoor access point is a standard Airespace 802.11 access point radio that has been placed in a weather proof enclosure to allow outdoor operation. The radio operates in a manner similar to the Airespace model 1250 (QTZ1200W) indoor access point. The outdoor radio incorporates the same circuitry as the Airespace indoor access point with the exception that RF amplifiers are incorporated into the outdoor radio to provide additional transmit power for longer distance, outdoor operation. The outdoor radio is for enterprise applications where it is necessary to extend the 802.11 infrastructure outside to cover a corporate campus for example. The outdoor radio utilizes omni directional antennas on both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. Future models of the outdoor radio may include 5 GHz directional antennas. The outdoor radio is powered either by 120VAC or 48VDC and is enclosed in a proven weatherproof enclosure.

Mobile Power Density Calculation for FCC ID: QTZ1300 The Access Point (AP) is an IEE802.11 A / B /G radio. The access point operates on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands. Operating Environment: The operating environment for the for the radio in all cases is a fixed, uncontrolled environment, however, the devices are classified as being “Mobile”, Therefore the exposure at 20 cm is calculated. Fixed, Uncontrolled Environment: The FCC limit for the power density for uncontrolled exposure to RF devices operation at 2.4GHz and 5GHz at a distance of 20 cm is: 1 mW/cm 2 Power density is calculated from the following equation Exposure (mW/cm 2 ) = EIRP(mW) * Duty Cycle 4*PI* Radius 2 (cm) Where: Radius = 20 cm Duty Cycle = assumed to be 100% to yield a worst case result. The maximum allowed external antenna gain on 2.4 GHz is 8dBi The maximum allowed external antenna gain on 5 GHz is 9dBi 2.4GHz ISM Band MPE distance Calculation Using the highest power measured on the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
