20420 Century Boulevard Germantown, MD 20874 (301) 944-2700 (phone) (301) 944-2701 (fax) September 7, 2006 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Office of Engineering & Technology 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for confidentiality for FCC ID: TY7210-0150 To Whom It May Concern: Pursuant to 47 CFR Sections 0.457 and 0.459, CURRENT Technologies, LLC (“CURRENT”) hereby requests non-disclosure and confidential treatment of the following materials submitted in support of FCC certification application for FCC ID # TY7210-0150. a. Block Diagram (submitted 6/30/06) b. Revised Block Diagram (submitted 7/28/06) c. Internal Photos (submitted 6/30/06) d. Operational Description (submitted 6/30/06) e. Installation Guide (submitted 6/30/06) f. Reply to correspondence 31235, pt. 2 (submitted 8/1/06) g. Revised Notching Instructions (submitted 7/25/06) The above materials contain trade secrets and proprietary, technical information that CURRENT would customarily guard from competitors. See 47 C.F.R. § 0.457(d)(2). Disclosure or publication of any portion of this confidential material to other parties could cause substantial competitive harm and provide unjustified benefits for competitors. The information in these exhibits is not available to the general public. This information, including that in the internal photos, is not disclosed to third parties except under protection of a confidentiality agreement that prohibits further disclosure. Therefore recipients of this information are constrained by contract from showing the equipment or discussing its operation to anyone not approved by CURRENT. Although the underlying equipment is installed outdoors, all installations (as well as equipment removal and in-situ maintenance) are performed only by certified utility company linemen or contractors, and once installed the equipment resides in the “power space” of utility poles where electric distribution lines are hung. Access to this space is very dangerous and under the National Electric Safety Code is strictly limited to qualified utility workers certified to work within such “power space.” Finally, the underlying equipment is serviceable only by CURRENT or a CURRENT- authorized third party. As a result, the design details of the equipment, including internal photos, are hidden from competitors and protected against public disclosure. The equipment design, as shown in the internal photos, was developed by CURRENT at great expense. Disclosure of this information via the FCC website would convey an unfair and unearned competitive advantage to other companies in this market. CURRENT is entitled to have the information protected pursuant to Worthington Compressors v. Costle, 662 F.2d 45, 51 (D.C. Cir. 1981). 20420 Century Boulevard Germantown, MD 20874 (301) 944-2700 (phone) (301) 944-2701 (fax) Sincerely, Jay Birnbaum Vice President & General Counsel (301) 944-2702 (phone) (301) 944-2701 (fax) [email protected]

Operational Description

To: FCC OET Laboratory, ATTN Steve Martin From: CURRENT Technologies Regarding: Correspondence 31235, FCC ID TY7210-0150, EA296140 NOTE: This reply to correspondence modifies the operational description and is included in the Request for Confidentiality filed with the original application. The correspondence noted above raised a number of questions. These questions are listed in boldface below, with the answer directly below the questions. Q: Application is for model URD 5000r, but tests below 30 MHz were performed on URD 5000mv1. What are the differences between these two models? Please clarify the differences with words, photos, block diagrams, etc. Explain the functions of components that differ between the units. A: The question will be answered in a later submission. Q: Installation manual mentions two couplers (URD 5000r and URD 5000rp). Are both coupler models intended for use with the CT Bridge URD 5000r? If so, please clarify any differences that might affect emissions. A: Only the CT Coupler URD 5000r is used with the CT Bridge URD 5000r, and was used for all testing cited in the Report of Measurements. The CT Coupler URD 5000rp is used with different products in a different set of pole configurations. Q: Installation manual mentions a URD 3:1 Coupler Splitter. Is this device intended for use with CT Bridge URD 5000r? If so, please clarify whether it was used during emissions testing and any expected impact on emissions for configurations in which it is used. A: The splitter is only used for CT Bridge URD 500r installations at a sectionalizer. (A sectionalizer is a device that provides switching and branching functions for underground electricity distribution lines.) The splitter divides the signal for distribution to more than one coupler. As it simply divides the signal and does not provide gain, it does not have any meaningful impact on emissions. The splitter was not used during testing. Q: Submitted installation manual does not include any operator instructions related to complying with FCC interference mitigation and avoidance requirements. Please provide sections of operator instruction manual for this EUT or for the system controller relevant to compliance with these requirements. (E.g., achieving the notch depth requirements in 15.611(c) may require masking out several carriers beyond the edge of the band to be protected. How is this information conveyed to the operator?) A: An operator document describing the notch conditions is attached to this correspondence reply. Q: What was the burst rate of BPL signal injection onto the power lines during testing for each band of operation? Q: Please specify the maximum RF injection duty factor achievable by the device and identify the duty factor of signal injection during testing for both bands of operation. A (To both questions directly above): To generate test traffic on both medium voltage and low voltage, a special mode in the device was used that forces the BPL modem to continuously generate transmission on the line. This works by forcing the modem under test to repeatedly and continuously transmit system overhead messages. The ‘mfgviperon’ command transmits these in a manner that exceeds the normal ability of the modem to generate traffic in actual use, by repeatedly sending these overhead messages to a remote station on the powerline. These messages generate 200 OFDM symbols over 40 times per second, ensuring that the 20 pulse per second minimum is exceeded, and that the transmit rate approaches the maximum achievable with these signals in actual operation. As the maximum duty cycle in a CSMA network such as this is indeterminate; this technique ensures that a repeatable measurement can be conducted while ensuring that the quasi-peak detection filter is not allowed to decay, and reduce the measured level in a manner not indicative of its maximum transmission. To illustrate this point, the signal was generated in a laboratory and its time domain waveform captured. This data is shown below. The figure below shows a plot of the 200 OFDM symbol burst. Test Waveform - Zoom on Test Pulse -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 -0.00020 0.00000 0.00020 0.00040 0.00060 0.00080 0.00100 0.00120 0.00140 0.00160 Time (seconds) Relative Amplitude of Signal (dB) Note that the burst is longer than 1 ms, ensuring that the signal remains continuously on during the rise time of quasi-peak detection filter. A plot of the bursts over a full second is shown below, in a plot of a full second of the waveform. Test Waveform over 1 second period -70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 0.0000.1000.2000.3000.4000.5000.6000.7000.8000.9001.000 Time (seconds) Relative Amplitude of Signal (dB) The repeated bursts ensure that the quasi-peak filter decay constant is not allowed to fully discharge, thereby ensuring that the measurement will register the maximum possible emissions as called out in Appendix C.

Test Report

To: FCC OET Laboratory, ATTN Steve Martin From: CURRENT Technologies Regarding: Correspondence regarding test signal duty cycle In addition to the reply data previously submitted on 25 July 2006, we offer the following data on the specific test signals used and the impact on emissions measurements. As previously submitted, the ‘mfgviperon’ command used for testing is designed to create repeated system overhead messages that fully exercise the quasi-peak detector and can be duplicated in both the field and lab environment. The command creates a burst of 200 OFDM symbols that get repeated at least 40 times per second, easily exceeding the 20 pps requirement. To illustrate this point, the signal was generated in a laboratory and its time domain waveform captured. This data is shown below. Figure 1 shows a plot of the 200 symbol OFDM burst. Test Waveform - Zoom on Test Pulse -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 -0.00020 0.00000 0.00020 0.00040 0.00060 0.00080 0.00100 0.00120 0.00140 0.00160 Time (seconds) Relative Amplitude of Signal (dB) Figure 1: Test Waveform - Zoom on Test Pulse Note that the burst is longer than 1 ms, ensuring that the signal remains continuously on during the rise time of quasi-peak detection filter. A plot of the bursts over a full second is shown in Figure 2, in a plot of a full second of the waveform. Test Waveform over 1 second period -70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 0.0000.1000.2000.3000.4000.5000.6000.7000.8000.9001.000 Time (seconds) Relative Amplitude of Signal (dB) Figure 2: Test Waveform over 1 Second Period The repeated bursts ensure that the quasi-peak filter decay constant is not allowed to fully discharge, thereby ensuring that the measurement will register the maximum possible emissions as called out in Appendix C. It can be properly noted that the overall duty cycle of this transmission is relatively low, although the burst rate is fairly high. Laboratory testing of the signal shown in Figure 2 registered a quasi-peak level of 71.9 dBμV. To compare this against a signal with a very high duty cycle, the same unit used for the tests in Figures 1 and 2 was used to generate a high rate of throughput so that the duty cycle approached 100%. The resulting waveform is shown in Figure 3. Test Waveform with High Duty Cycle -50 -45 -40 -35 -30 -25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 00.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91 Time (seconds) Relative Amplitude (dB) Figure 3: Test Waveform with High Duty Cycle A quasi-peak level of this waveform provided a level of 71.3 dB, or 0.6 dB less than the test signal used in all field testing. The test signal provides a full exercise of the quasi- peak detector in a repeatable manner that can be readily achieved in the field. This ensures that field testing registers the maximum emissions and can be done in a repeatable manner.
