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 environment is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. 3. Notes specific to the 2.496 – 2.69GHz band: •The StarMAX Base Station (radio model 8200-26, range 2.583-2.690) is compliant with FCC CFR47, Part 27. •To ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum distance of 3.72 meters must be maintained between the base station antenna and any persons whilst the unit is operational. This calculation is based on the maximum conducted power and maximum antenna gain. •The 2.6GHz Base Station has been tested and certified for use with an XPOL antenna with a maximum gain of 18dBi and Omni antennas with a maximum gain of 13dBi. 4. Notes specific to the 3.65 – 3.675GHz band: •The StarMAX 3.6GHz Base Station complies with FCC CFR47, Part 90, Subpart Z •For FCC CFR47, Part 90, Subpart Z, StarMAX operation is restricted to the 25MHz band 3.65GHz – 3.675GHz. •To ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum distance of 25cm must be maintained between the base station antenna and any persons whilst the unit is operational at 5MHz and 34cm for 10MHz operation. This calculation is based on the EIRP limits within Part 90, Subpart Z. •The…

7 October, 2009 Equipment Authorization Division Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Request for Confidentiality for VPX-8200-36A Harris Stratex Networks requests according to FCC 47 CFR 0.459 that the following items are held permanently confidential and from public view: Block diagrams All schematic diagrams Parts list Tune-up information Operational description These items contain proprietary information that represents considerable investment on the part of Harris Stratex Networks. Public disclosure of this information would be damaging for Harris Stratex due to the competitive nature of our industry. Ruth French Product Compliance Manager

9 December, 2009 Equipment Authorization Division Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Contention Based Protocol Harris Stratex’s StarMAX product is based on IEEE 802.16-2005, OFDMA part of the standard and specifically on WiMAX Forum System profile. WiMAX MAC is base station-centric as all the scheduling of the traffic and control data is performed by the base station. The end users (terminal equipment) are thus not having issues in co-channel operation with other like systems. The automatic co-channel interference avoidance mechanism is not implemented within StarMAX base station, but with different measures (air frame configuration and synchronization, fractional frequency reuse patterns, site and RF planning) the system can be configured for efficient co-channel operation with like systems - thus the equipment falls into the restricted contention based protocol category per CFR 47, Part 90 ( § 90.7). Hence, Harris Stratex Networks is applying for a grant only for the lower 25MHz of the 3650 – 3700MHz band. Ruth French Product Compliance Manager +44 7771 978 599 [email protected]

Jamie Huckerby From: [email protected] Sent: 02 October 2009 20:30 To: Jamie Huckerby Subject: Response to Inquiry to FCC (Tracking Number 210233) Page 1 of 1 26/10/2009 Inquiry: Im testing a WiMAX OFDM base station to Part 90 subpart Z and have a question pertaining to peak power spectral density test. The EIRP limit for the radio in a 5 MHz channel bandwidth is 5W or 37 dBm. The limit for peak power spectral density is 30 dBm / 1 MHz EIRP. My question to you is, as OFDM has a high peak-to-average ratio, and EIRP is measured using an RMS detector, is the 30 dBm / 1 MHz EIRP PSD limit using a peak detector still applicable? In practice, following these guidelines, the PSD EIRP is approximately 20 dB higher than the measured EIRP. This technically means that the base station would require a 20 dB lower EIRP which makes the BS max EIRP approx 17 dBm max. I cant see how it would be possible to allow an WiMAX type device to be near the EIRP limit following these normal guidelines? Is there any relaxation or use of a measurement detector other than a peak detector allowed for this equipment type? Is the PSD limit supposed to be a conducted limit rather than an EIRP? If you could please clarify this matter for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jamie Response: The RMS detector can be used for the PSD if it is also used for the RF Power. The PSD limit is EIRP, not conducted Do not reply to this message.

Ruth French From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 3:46 PM To: Ruth French Subject: Response to Inquiry to FCC (Tracking Number 976660) Page 1 of 1 10/26/2009 Inquiry: Dear OET, Later this year we will submit an application for an FCC grant for our WiMAX 802.16e product in the band 3.65GHz - 3.675GHz. Our TCB has recommended that we contact the FCC for full details of the test documentation needed for this application as the FCC will review the file directly. We intend for the conducted measurements to be completed assuming the lowest gain antenna- with the conducted power set to meet the EIRP limit. We intend for the radiated measurements to be completed with the highest gain antenna. Can you please confirm that this is satifactory? We plan to submit test data for Part 90 and also MPE calculations to OET bulletin 65, supplement C. Please indicate if there is any other test documentation required for this application. Best regards Ruth French Response: The test method you describe is acceptable. Do not reply to this message.

Applicable FCC Rule Parts: Part 90.1335. Licensees and manufacturers are subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in sections 1.1307(b), 2.1091 and 2.1093. Part 1.1310. Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits. Part 90.1321(a). (a) Base and fixed stations are limited to 25 watts/25 MHz equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP). In any event, the peak EIRP power density shall not exceed 1 Watt in any one-megahertz slice of spectrum. (b) In addition to the provisions in paragraph (a) of this section, transmitters operating in the 3650- 3700 MHz band that emit multiple directional beams, simultaneously or sequentially, for the purpose of directing signals to individual receivers or to groups of receivers provided the emissions comply with the following: (1) Different information must be transmitted to each receiver. (2) If the transmitter employs an antenna system that emits multiple directional beams but does not emit multiple directional beams simultaneously, the total output power conducted to the array or arrays that comprise the device, i.e., the sum of the power supplied to all antennas, antenna elements, staves, etc. and summed across all carriers or frequency channels, shall not exceed the limit specified in paragraph (a) of this section, as applicable. The directional antenna gain shall be computed as follows: (i) The directional gain, in dBi, shall be calculated as the sum of 10 log (number of array elements or staves) plus the directional gain, in dBi, of the individual element or stave having the highest gain. (ii) A lower value for the directional gain than that calculated in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section will be accepted if sufficient evidence is presented, e.g., due to shading of the array or coherence loss in the beam-forming. (3) If a transmitter employs an antenna that operates simultaneously on multiple directional beams using the same or different frequency channels and if transmitted beams overlap, the power shall be reduced to ensure that the aggregate power from the overlapping beams does not exceed the limit specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. In addition, the aggregate power transmitted simultaneously on all beams shall not exceed the limit specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section by more than 8…
