Subject: Request for Confidentiality
FCC ID: HFS-RK

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47 CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459),
Quanta Computer Inc. (Quanta) requests that the Commission indefinitely withhold from
public disclosure the following attachments associated with the certification application for
the above-referenced FCC ID:

• Theory of Operation (Operational and Technical Description)
• Block Diagram
• Schematic Diagram
• Antenna Specific/Tune Up

In support of this request, Quanta provides the following information:

1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is
sought (§ 0.459(b)(1)): Quanta requests that all of the information contained in the
above-referenced exhibits to the certification application be withheld from routine
public disclosure.

2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was
submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission (§
0.459(b)(2)): The material is being submitted in connection with Quanta’s
certification application for FCC ID HFS-RK.

3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial, or financial or
contains a trade secret or is privileged (§ 0.459(b)(3)): The market for the
technology that is the subject of the certification application is highly competitive,
with numerous companies competing for the business of potential customers. Were
Quanta’s competitors to become aware of the facts set forth in the above-referenced
exhibits to the application at this time, it could have an adverse impact on Quanta’s
competitive standing and deprive Quanta of the marketplace benefit it otherwise
might achieve by virtue of having the product available before other competitors. If
any of the information for which confidential treatment is sought were to be made

publicly available, Quanta’s competitors could reasonably determine the scope and
status of our activities.

4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is
competitive (§ 0.459(b)(4)): The technology that is the subject of the certification
application is subject to intense competition from other manufacturers and service
providers that are developing competing services and technology.

5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial
competitive harm (§ 0.459(b)(5)): As noted above, were Quanta’s competitors to
become aware of the facts set forth in the above-referenced exhibits to the application,
it could have an adverse impact on Quanta’s competitive standing and deprive Quanta
of the marketplace benefit it otherwise would achieve by virtue of having the product
available before other providers.

6. Identification of any measures taken by the requesting party to prevent
unauthorized disclosure (§ 0.459(b)(6)): The information contained in the above-
referenced exhibits to the certification application has been strictly controlled by
Quanta, with distribution limited to internal use only and for the specific purpose of
conducting research, development, and testing of the technology.

7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent
of any previous disclosures of the information to any third parties (§
0.459(b)(7)): The information that Quanta requests be maintained as confidential is
not available publicly. The information has been protected and kept confidential by
limiting external contacts to privileged and confidential communications.

8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that
material should not be available for public disclosure (§ 0.459(b)(8)): Given the
competitive nature of the marketplace, any disclosure that Quanta has developed the
technology discussed in the above-reference exhibits to the certification application
would harm Quanta’s competitive position. The information subject to this request
for confidentiality should not be made available for public disclosure at any time.

In addition, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705, and 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, Quanta also requests that the Commission grant temporary
confidential treatment and not release the following attachments for routine public disclosure
until 180 days following the grant of this certification application:

• External Photos
• Internal Photos
• Test Set-up Photos
• User Manual (Important Product Information)

It is our understanding that test measurement reports and correspondence during the
certification review process cannot be granted confidential treatment, and such information
will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued.
