Mr. Gbadebo,

In response to the FCC examiner’s inquiry whether or not the two transmitters could transmit
simultaneously, the pager and the LAN (Local Area Network) radio will not transmit at the same time. The
following information to supports this conclusion:

    Two sequences are possible; the LAN radio transmits and then the pager transmits or vice versa. The
    product’s software processes each action sequentially. During the first sequence, the controller must
    transfer the transmitted data to the LAN radio as the data goes over the air since the radio does not
    have a data buffer. Consequently, the controller can not command the pager to transmit until the
    LAN radio has finished transmitting. During the second sequence, the controller commands the
    pager to transmit and then waits for the pager to receive an acknowledgement from the paging
    network. Again, the controller can not command the radio to transmit while waiting for the paging
    network acknowledgement.


    Additionally, in order to minimize current drawn from the C & I’s power supply and thereby make the
    power supply as inexpensive as possible, the controlling software will be designed to preclude
    simultaneous transmissions. As you may know, the size and cost of capacitors in a power supply
    increases as the load current increases. Precluding simultaneous transmissions effectively cuts the
    total capacitance in half.

I believe this answers the examiner’s question.

Sincerely,



Paul Finkel, Sr. Design Engineer
