The confidentiality request applies to the System Block Diagram, Schematics, Parts List, and Theory of Operation contained in this filing. The “LTE-M Cellular” has been developed at considerable effort and expense by Landis+Gyr Technology, Inc. These items are considered as Trade Secrets and therefore public access to the proprietary material could possibly result in duplication of equipment that could severely damage the company's business advantage. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

30000 Mill Creek Avenue, Suite 100 | Alpharetta, GA 30022 Tel: +1 678 258 1637 | Fax: +1 678 258 1681 To: File From: James L. Stortz Subject: LTE-M Cellular, FCC ID: R7PEG1R1S7 Modular Approval Request April 20, 2020 Scope 47CFR 15.212 communicates requirements for products requesting modular approval. In particular, eight requirements are enumerated along with a request that each of the eight be explained for any product requesting such approval. It is the purpose of this document to respond to those eight requirements in regard to the Landis+Gyr product: LTE-M Cellular. Modular Approval Requirements 1.1 RF Shielding The LTE-M Cellular module is self-shielding and is not dependent on any component or characteristic of the device into which it is embedded. Shielding is accomplished through a combination of metallic self-shielding components, copper planes, guards, and vias in the PCB. The result is a design that has been proven to be neither sensitive to outside influence nor capable of introducing interference into outside components. 1.2 Buffered Modulation / Data Inputs The LTE-M Cellular module does not have external modulation or data inputs. Rather, the RF sections are driven by an on-board microprocessor which directly controls the RF data lines and operates so as to not allow excessive modulation. 1.3 Power Supply Regulation The LTE-M Cellular module uses a buck converter that provides a low noise regulated voltage to the modem and other electronics with a fixed voltage, even when the input voltage is varied. 1.4 Antenna Requirement The LTE-M Cellular module utilizes a -3.07dBi Inverted-F antenna. 1.5 Stand-Alone Testing All testing on the LTE-M Cellular module was conducted standalone. No shields or enclosures were used, other than those fully integrated into the modules themselves. No ferrites were used on data or power lines during testing. These devices are DC powered and exceed applicable conducted emission requirements. 1.6 Labeling As indicated, each LTE-M Cellular module will have its own FCC ID label. In addition, devices into which they are placed will have labels indicating that this module is contained within. Exact text will be as specified in 47CFR 15.212. 1.7 Specific Rules and Operating Requirements The LTE-M Cellular module complies with all pertinent rules for its section. 1.8 RF Exposure Requirements The LTE-M Cellular module complies with all exposure requirements. As a component used in the Utility industry, this product is not intended for use near human operators. This module undergoes continuous, rigorous testing to ensure that full compliance is always maintained. Sincerely, James L. Stortz Title: Director of Hardware Engineering
