                 RE: q;onfldentiality Request for FCC 1D: L7KTSPA—01



                 Dear $ir/Madam,

                 Nokia|\ Networks hereby requests that the internal photographs (showing the inside of the
                 UItra%ite EDGE Base Station or the inside of any unit that is part of the UltraSite EDGE Base
                 Station), schematic diagrams, tuning/calibration procedures, user‘s manuals, operational
                 descriptions and other technical descriptions be held as confidential items per Section 0.459
                 of the|Commission Rules. This request is based on the following reasons:

                 The nfiarket we are serving with our UltraSite EDGE Base Station is new and technically very
                 advadced, and hence competition between manufacturers is extremely high.
                         |

                 We bilieve that our Base Station contains equipment that some competitors would be
                 extremely keen to get information on. This would provide an unfair advantage to our
                 competitors.

                 Whed a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is installed into a network it is usually placed in an
                 enclogsed area, with access only available to authorized personnel. If the BTS is not in a
                 restricted area (possibly because it is on the top of a building) access into the BTS is still not
                 possible due to the fact that the cabinet is securely locked. This means the only way a
                 competitor could get hold of technical information on the BTS is from FCC records. We are
                 concerned that if a competitor is able to get hold of sensitive information on the Nokia BTS,
                 our p¢sition as a market leader could be seriously compromised.

                 It is for these reasons that we would like to file all internal photographs (showing the inside of
                 the U(TtraSite EDGE Base Station or the inside of any unit that is part of the UltraSite EDGE
                 Base |Station), schematic diagrams, tuning/calibration procedures, user‘s manuals,
                 operational descriptions and other technical descriptions for confidentiality.

                 Sincdrely,
