Attention:        Application Examiner

RE:               Request for confidentiality per FCC Rule Sections 0.457 and 0.459
Applicant:        Silver Spring Networks Inc.
FCC ID:           OWS-IMU518
IC:               5975A-IMU518

To whom it may concern,

Request is hereby submitted, on behalf of my client Silver Spring Networks to permanently withhold
from public review certain portions of the application for equipment certification for the referenced FCC
identifier. The referenced product is a 900MHz FHSS gas meter radio module for which modular approval
is sought. In particular, the following sections of the application and report are requested to be kept
confidential:

         Operational Description
         Schematic
         Block Diagram
         Internal photographs

Justification for keeping internal photographs confidential

This product is not sold to the general public, it is made available only to utilities and gas companies.
There are no serviceable parts except for the battery which is designed for a 20-year life before
replacement. In addition the circuits under the shields are filled with waterproof potting material.

Silver Spring Networks has invested considerable time and materials in research and development to
produce the referenced product. Disclosure of the confidential portions of this application to competitors
would give them unfair competitive advantages in developing similar products.

If you have questions or need further information, please contact the undersigned.

Sincerely,




THOMAS N. COKENIAS
EMC Consultant/Agent for Silver Spring Networks
