CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST Date: September 18, 2023 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Gentlemen:

Landis+Gyr Technology, Inc. respectfully requests confidentiality of certain materials provided with the submission of Honeywells GNIC under FCC ID: QZC-GNIC in accordance with FCC Regulations 0.459. The confidentiality request applies to the RF Mesh Regulatory Compliance Base document/Theory of Operation contained in this filing. FW stacks (Mesh, Mesh IP and Wi-SUN) have been developed at considerable effort and expense by Landis+Gyr Technology, Inc. These items are considered as Trade Secrets and therefore public access to the proprietary material could possibly result in duplication of equipment that could severely damage the company's business advantage. I appreciate your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, James L.
