Magellan Technology Pty, 65 Johnston Street, Annandale NSW 2038, Australia Phone: +61 2 9562 9800, Fax: +61 2 9518 7620 [email protected], www.magtech.com.au Dear Sir REFERENCE: MARS-24ATR Antenna Connection The MARS-24ATR product uses standard BNC for antenna connection. It is our opinion that this new device meets the requirements for antenna connection in the following aspects: Marketing. Page 6 of the user manual states that the product must be installed and maintained by professional service trained personnel only. The following marketing methods are used: • The equipment is never sold at retail or to the general public. We manufacture and sell our products only to licensed users. • The equipment is sold through only exclusive and formal license arrangements. • Only Walker Digital (a system integrator company) is licensed by Magellan to install this equipment in the USA. • Walker Digital technicians are professionally trained in installation methods and procedures by Magellan and by Walker Digital. • Walker Digital already has trained professional installers to ensure that equipment is professionally installed and supervised. Nature of the Application. The devices are intended solely for the use by casinos in the gaming industry. On installation the antennas are embedded in the casino tables to which only professional people will have access. The general public do not have any knowledge about the installation of the devices and therefore do not have general access. Installation. Section 3 of the user manual contains a dedicated section relating to antenna installation. The following statement has being included in the user manual, important information section, installation sub-section (at page 6): Magellan’s RFID reader-writers are to be professionally installed by authorized, qualified and service-trained installation personnel only. Magellan Technology Pty, 65 Johnston Street, Annandale NSW 2038, Australia Phone: +61 2 9562 9800, Fax: +61 2 9518 7620 [email protected], www.magtech.com.au Section 4 and 5 of the user manual describes the hardware and software installation of the antenna respectively. The antenna software set-up at section 4.2.6 refers to Reader Manager Guide (40-10-006-DOC) for detailed instructions using the Wizard tool in Reader Setup (Section 6.8) to properly set-up the antenna. Section 15.203 of the FCC Rules and Regulations states that the requirement of a unique connector is not required if the intentional radiator is professionally installed. We feel that we satisfy the requirements of a professional installation. Sincerely Yours, Tai Wai Pong Senior Engineer - Hardware

Overview The Multiple Antenna Reader System with Adaptive Tuning (MARS-24ATR) is an RFID reader/writer built for speed and accuracy. The MARS-24ATR is able to verify, edit, monitor and control a large number of valuable items on up to 24 individual antennas. Adaptive tuning compensates for the effects of antenna detuning and will even alert the user should an antenna ever be disconnected or become detuned beyond the readers bounds. The MARS-24ATR is a high performance system suitable for use with PJM RFID tags. It provides fast and reliable operations with a range of different external antenna types. All Magellan readers are supplied with ReaderManager software that provides a platform for reader setup, configuration, demonstrations, testing and application development. Antennas connected to a MARS-24ATR can be arranged as required to operate 24 separate read/write stations or any combination of multi-axis stations that will identify tags in multiple orientations. Antennas can be fitted to display cases, cabinets, presentation areas, on gaming tables and shelves or on a high speed conveyor. Antennas requiring tuning will only need to be tuned once, on initial setup.
