    Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind
    in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have
    achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship.

    Permanent Confidentiality:
    The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public
    review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public.

    Short-Term Confidentiality:
    The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a
    period of 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid
    premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also
    aware that they are responsible to notify FCC in the event information regarding the product or the product is made
    available to the public. FCC will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC KDB
    726920 D01.

    The applicant understands that until such time that Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada
    distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be
    marked Confidential when submitted to ISED.

    Sincerely,

    By:     _______________________________                  Robert Hastings; Manager Regulatory Compliance

                     (Signature/Title2)                                              (Printed name)

  - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently
     require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an
     application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The
     EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable
     damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.”

   - Must be signed by applicant contact given for applicant on the FCC site, or by the authorized agent if an appropriate
     authorized agent letter has been provided. Letters should be placed on appropriate letterhead.
