Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia MD 21046

Subject:

Request for Confidentiality

FCC ID: 2APND-SC1

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission's rules (47 CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459), SmartSky Networks, LLC ("SmartSky"), is requesting the Commission to withhold the following as confidential documents from public disclosure indefinitely:

Schematics Block Diagram, Operational Description and Internal Photos.

The radio system is composed of a transceiver and an external filter and is only available in this configuration as part of a larger test system to SmartSky-authorized purchasers and does not contain any user-serviceable components. SmartSky requests that the internal photos be kept confidential long-term under the FCC guidelines that the radio system set forth in those photos is a business product, not a direct consumer product, and is only serviceable by employees and subcontractors of SmartSky, with all service personnel subject to non-disclosure agreements.

Furthermore, SmartSky requests the schematics, block diagrams of the RF components and operational description be treated as confidential long-term under the FCC guidelines since SmartSky's design incorporates a radio architecture used in conjunction with frequency specific external components comprising the radio system. SmartSky has spent substantial effort in developing this product and having the subject information easily available to competitors would negate the advantage SmartSky has achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of design will result in financial hardship to SmartSky.

In additional to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission's policy, SmartSky is requesting the Commission to grant our short-term confidentiality request on the following for One Hundred Eighty (180) days from the date of the grant:

External Photos and Test Setup Photos.

Lastly, it is our understanding that all measurement test reports, FCC ID label formats and correspondence during the Commission's certification review process (collectively, the Public

Documents") cannot be deemed by the Commission to be confidential documents and that the information contained in the Public Documents will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization by the Commission is issued.
