- INTRODUCTION In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL''), we find IKUSI-Angel Iglesias, S.A. (``IKUSI'') apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand dollars ($7,000) for importing and marketing in the United States non-compliant equipment in willful and repeated violation of Section 302(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), and Sections 2.803(a)(1) and 15.231(a) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''). II. BACKGROUND The Office of Engineering and Technology referred to the Enforcement Bureau a complaint alleging that IKUSI's Remote Crane Transmitter (``RCT Model TM60''), a radio frequency device designed for the remote control of cranes and hoists, fails to comply with Section 15.231(a) of the Rules, which requires a manually operated transmitter to employ a

Radianse states that it selected frequency 433.92 MHz for its IPS because it is harmonized for unlicensed operation in the European Union, and that in order for the IPS to receive equipment certification on that frequency in the United States it was designed to comply with Section 15.231(e) of the Commission's Rules, which requires a minimum transmitter off time of ten seconds between transmissions. Radianse asserts that its customers have performed time and motion studies in medical environments and determined that a two-second sampling rate is required to achieve the level of accuracy needed to track typical movements in a hospital environment. Consequently, Radianse seeks to operate the

- required approvals may slow market entry slightly. Recent Efforts The Part 15 rules are continually revised to address evolving technology. Initial Recommendation The staff recommends that the Commission incorporate the new ANSI C63.17 test procedure for unlicensed PCS systems into the rules; review emission standards above 2 GHz in view of changes in licensed services at these frequencies; and amend 15.231 to permit data transmission. Comments The Wireless Communications Division of the Telecommunications Industry Association made several suggestions for additional changes. First, TIA argued that the Commission should simplify the different equipment authorizations needed for composite devices (e.g. wireless organizers). Staff agrees with this suggestion. Second, TIA recommended that the Commission remove the requirement for two FCC ID's for composite devices

- modified or eliminated, even though a review of that part was not required by statute. Updated Staff Report recommended that the Commission consider a number of changes to Part 15 and other parts of the rules. Specifically, it recommended that the Commission: Review the limits for radio frequency emissions above 2 GHz. Permit data transmission by transmitters operating under Section 15.231. Simplify the labeling requirements for equipment approved under the Declaration of Conformity procedure. Incorporate a new test procedure for unlicensed Personal Communication Services (PCS) transmitters into the rules. Clarify the measurement requirements in Part 2 of the rules for Family Radio Service transmitters. Clarify the requirements for scanning receivers to prevent the reception of cellular telephone frequencies. In addition, the

- Specific frequency bands are designated as restricted bands in Part 15 to protect certain sensitive radio services from interference, such as those that protect safety of life or those that use very low received levels, such as satellite downlinks or radio astronomy. Only spurious emissions are permitted in restricted bands. See 47 C.F.R. 15.205. See 47 C.F.R. 15.209, 15.231, 15.241 and 15.242. Effective October 16, 2002, equipment authorizations will no longer be granted for medical telemetry transmitters that operate in the TV broadcast bands.

Unlicensed PCS transmitters operate in the bands 1910-1930 MHz and 2390-2400 MHz. The exemption from the restricted bands only affects the limits for some of the unwanted emissions. The unwanted emissions are required to comply with the limits in 47 C.F.R. 15.321(d) and 15.323(d), as appropriate. See 47 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). See First Report and Order in GEN Docket No.

- bands above 38.6 GHz which need not be designated as restricted because they do not contain services that require protection. We are continuing our discussions with NTIA to determine which bands above 38.6 GHz should continue to be designated as restricted and we defer a decision on this matter to a later date. Data Transmission by Remote Control Devices Section 15.231 of the rules allows the operation of remote control devices in the 40.66-40.70 MHz band and at any frequency above 70 MHz, except in designated restricted bands. There are two separate provisions for operation under this section. The first provision, in paragraph (a) of this rule section, contains field strength limits for devices that transmit control signals, such as those

- or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f)

- dB below the maximum permissible limits. 7 C.F.R. 15.209. The limit specified for frequencies above 960 MHz is 500 uV/m and is measured at 3 meters using a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth. This is equivalent to an EIRP of -41.25 dBm/MHz. It also is possible to operate intermittent unlicensed systems at slightly higher power levels under 47 C.F.R. 15.231, which allows periodic use above 70 MHz. The 126.25 dB difference expressed above does not take into account different FS bandwidth characteristics which could increase or decrease this value. We note, for example, that the sample analysis in Appendix B suggests that approximately 53 million unlicensed devices could operate in the 6525-6700 MHz band and 370 million unlicensed devices could

- A radio frequency device can generate unwanted emissions that may appear in any part of the radio spectrum. 47 C.F.R. 15.209 of the current rules permits operation within the PCS bands at a higher level than that allowed from UWB devices and within the cellular bands at the same level as that allowed from UWB devices. 47 C.F.R. 15.231 allows operation within the PCS and cellular frequency bands at considerably higher emission levels than those produced by UWB devices. Prior to June 23, 1989, 47 C.F.R. 15.120, 15.122, 15.181-15.187, and 15.201-15.215 permitted unlicensed operation within the PCS and cellular bands at the higher power levels currently permitted under 47 C.F.R. 15.231.

DISCUSSION Savi requests that the Commission modify the requirements in Section 15.231 of the rules for RFID systems operating at 433 MHz. This section allows the operation of intentional radiators, including RFID systems, in the 40.66-40.70 MHz band and at any frequency above 70 MHz, except in designated restricted bands.
