Pursuant to Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission Rules, We, Ericsson Canada / Ericsson AB, hereby requests the Exhibits/Items listed below be withheld from public inspection or disclosure. This is based on the following reasons:
This product is intended for use in an Ericsson Radio Base Station (BS) designed and built to state of the art technical specification and implemented with innovative solutions for a highly competitive market. Competition in this market is very intense and therefore the necessity for confidentiality is essential to protect Ericsson IP and trade secrets. Ericsson AB / Ericsson Canada confidential exhibits / documentation contains Ericsson company proprietary information (or that of our suppliers and contractors), in addition to trade secrets and proprietary information that are not intended for public disclosure. The confidential exhibits in this application are provided exclusively for the radio authorization submission and approval process and therefore need to be protected from public disclosure. Ericsson AB / Ericsson Canada has invested considerable time and materials in research and development to produce the referenced product. Disclosure of the permanently confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology and solutions developed and / or implemented by Ericsson. The Confidential Exhibits listed below contain highly technical and confidential information about our product and are only available to trained and authorized service personnel. This equipment is not available to be sold to the general public, (nor is it a consumer product) and can only be accessed and installed by trained service personnel under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with Ericsson. In addition, this product is installed in restricted access areas and is only serviceable by the licensee or his designated technicians. Confidential product information can be found in, but not necessarily limited to, internal photos, block diagrams, schematics diagrams, and parts lists as well as certain documents, such as the users manuals.
