          Marmni,

          Here are the answers to Doug‘s questions. Please do not hesitate to call me if further
          clarification or addition is necessary. 1 will also be glad to talk with Doug if either he or
          you so desire.

          I would like to get his response so we can be sure we are modifying the application
          properly.

          Question 1.

          Upon further review, it was determined that transmission at 1 watt should be sufficient. I
          have recalculated the link budgets and included them at the end of the fax. Hopefully.
          this eliminates the need to answer questions 2—7. I have included answers to the other
          questions in case it does not. If it does not, we will need some idea of what is an
          acceptable power level.

          Question 2.

          This question seems to be part of question 1. Ifit is not, I will need some clarification. 1
          am not sure how beamwidth affects ERP in addition to or differently from the antenna
          gain.
          Question 3.

          The last sentence in exhibit 1 outlines our original procedure. Upon further review, we
          have determined that this procedure will only be useful for the Cell band (800—1000
          MHz). We know the arithmetic for allocating the channels normally used in this band, so
          we can find frequencies where interference should not happen. The use of spread
          spectrum communications in the PCS band (1500—2000 MHz) places extreme limits on
      the effectiveness ofthis procedure in this band.                                          .

      This procedure was intended for the 10 watt transmission power to ease concerns about
      interference. Other techniques we will employ to eliminate or reduce interference include
      limiting the dwell time at each frequency as discussed in exhibit 1 and reducing
      transmitting power to 1 watt.

      If this question goes away in the change to 1 watt, we would like to omit this. It might be
      a good idea to see how Doug feels about this omission for the 1 watt case.


      Question 4.

      This is the procedure in question 3. It is subject to the limits I discussed in question 3.




99/20‘d      I6F0 892 OL4                         *INIL ‘S319070NHOTL SW3               8T:8T       L661T—60—NHC


         Question 5.

         The diffraction fence reduces the transmitting antenna energy reflected from the parking
         lot. The diffraction fence is constructed from metal hardware cloth stretched over a metal
         frame. The hardware cloth is commonly available at hardware stores. It is 8.5 ft. high by
         32 ft. wide.

         Question 6.

         I am not sure if he means the horizontal direction or horizontal polarization. The
         diffraction fence keeps energy (both horizontal and vertical polarizations) from radiating
         in the horizontal direction (i.e. across the ground in Exhibit 1, Fig. 1). It does not keep
         the horizontal polarization from radiating toward the antenna under test.

         Question 7.

         If this question does not go away with the 1 watt change, we will have to look in the FCC
         allocation table to determine this. From the information we already have, we do not think
         this will be a problem in the Cell and PCS bands.
