Message:

1) Itron is requesting that we be allowed to test up to 200 devices at a time with this license. We would be
operating these devices in groups of 30 or more in various RF environments over a pre-determined time
period. This testing is for doing product and system development verification and validation of
performance against the requirements, with variables such as weather conditions, topology, population
density, RF interferers, etc. The reason for the number of units is to allow a significant statistical sample
in each of the different RF environments and so the overall testing can be done in a reasonable time
frame. All of these tests will be under Iron control. Ultimately, this design verification will assist in
developing new products and systems to benefit the utility industry. If deemed necessary, Itron is willing
to notify the FCC of any remote testing outside our normal facilities.

2) No, this is not a limited market study. No devices will be sold or contracted to third parties. This is for
internal testing only.

3) N.A.; we are not doing a market study. However Itron does remove all test units from the field once
internal testing is complete.

4) Yes, the 427-435 MHz and 868-870 MHz bands are for testing and development for equipment to be
utilized for export only.
