Dear Ms. Dortch:

On Fed 14th Cisco Systems, Inc. (hereinafter “Cisco”) provided to the FCC additional
pictures for information to the FCC. Per section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules, this
letter requests confidential treatment of material filed in support of the above-referenced
application. Cisco submits the following in conformance with the requirements of
section 0.459(b) of the Commission’s rules:

1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is
sought.
 Description of radios

2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was
submitted.
 OET Experimental License Application File

3. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is
subject to competition.
 Cisco considers its product development confidential, premature of release
of radio information will reveal product configuration of a product yet not
on the market

4. Explanation for how disclosure of the information could result in substantial
competitive harm.
 The information contained in the document presents information about a
conceptual product that is being evaluated for possible commercial
development. If competitors were to have access to this document, they
would have knowledge of Cisco’s pending business plans as far as radio
support or product development , and would be able to use this advance
knowledge to their advantage. This could result in substantial competitive

harm to Cisco’s ability to bring a 3650 MHz product to market, should
that decision be made.

5. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent
unauthorized disclosure.
 Information about Cisco’s products under development including
engineering development or demonstration tools is considered by the
company to be commercially sensitive information that employees are not
permitted to discuss outside the company.

6. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent
of any previous disclosure of information to third parties.
 Information about product development is not routinely provided to the
public, and is not available on Cisco’s web site. No information about this
product has been disclosed.

7. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that material
should not be available for public disclosure.
 Cisco requests that the above-identified material not be disclosed for 1
year. This period should provide sufficient time for Cisco to make its
evaluation of the product.

 .

Sincerely,

David Case
