1 Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality FCC ID: UAY-MC8687P To Whom It May Concern: Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47 CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459), we are requesting the Commission to withhold the following attachments as confidential document from public disclosure indefinitely. Schematic Diagram Block Diagram Theory of Operation Antenna Specifications Antenna Cable Specification Above mentioned document contains detailed system and equipment description are considered as proprietary information in operation of the equipment. The public disclosure of above documents might be harmful to our company and would give competitor an unfair advantage in the market. In additional to above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR §2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices. We are requesting the commission to grant short-term confidentiality request on the following attachments. External Photos Internal Photos Test Setup Photos User Manual It is our understanding that all measurement test reports, FCC ID label format and correspondent during certification review process cannot be granted as confidential documents and those information will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued. 2 Best Regards, Steven Chow Senior Applications Engineer Marvell Semiconductor, Inc.

Marvell Semiconductor, Inc., FCC ID: UAY-MC8687P, Assessment NO.: AN08T7480, Notice#1 Inbox X from [email protected] to [email protected], [email protected], cc [email protected], date Jan 9, 2008 3:11 PM subject Marvell Semiconductor, Inc., FCC ID: UAY- MC8687P, Assessment NO.: AN08T7480, Notice#1 hide details Jan 9 (6 days ago) Reply Hello Claire, Thu, I have completed the review of this application. Please reply to the following issue. I was not aware before last night that there was a TCB application for this product, or I would have included this item together with the IC notice. If you have questions, please email or call. Q1: Although the modular request form indicates use of a unique ufl connector, the application includes information about a cable with the ufl connector at one end and a standard SMA connector at the other. The description of the MegaChip antenna also shows a standard SMA connector. Use of standard SMA connectors does not meet the requirement of 15.203. The connector should preferably be changed to a unique type (e.g. RSMA). If it is not possible to use a unique connector, it must be demonstrated that final installation will be the responsibility and under control of the applicant so that only the designated antenna will be installed as a permanent and non-removable integral part of host products and the end user will have no access to the antenna connector. In this latter case, an attestation statement signed by Marvell is required with a detailed description of the antenna will be installed to meet these requirements. Signature by agent is not acceptable for this atte! station statement. This grant will be issued as a limited modular approval. The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 30 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal and forfeiture of the filing fee. 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 e-mail address listed below the name of the sender.

So client added a note in page 52, it indicates FCC application will only use PIFA antenna. Pls advise if the attached manual is ok or not for both FCC and IC. We are still waiting for client's decision to issue IC grant or not, pls wait for my final confirmation for IC grant.

Manual submitted with original application is OK. - Full modular approval is ok if above are done. NOTE: IC application with revised manual is ok with Mega Chip antenna. But if Mega Chip antenna is left in IC application, then FCC and IC manuals will be different. FCC and IC rules with regard to detachable antennas are different. Have they considered the possibility to change to RSMA connector or to permanently attach the cable to the antenna with glue or solder or crimp? 2 attachments — Download all attachments 07U11510-1A1 Setup Photos.pdf 280K View as HTML Download 07U11510-1A1 FCC DTS WLAN Report.pdf 1506K View as HTML Download
