The public disclosure of this information might be harmful to the company and provide unjustified benefits to our competitors. The devices pictured in the documents AM200-internal pictures.pdf and AM600-internal pictures.pdf are sealed and potted unit that cannot be opened after manufacturing without destroying the contents. Specifically in order to view inside the product to which this request refers, one would have to carry out the following steps:

1. general public. Moreover, these screws have to be removed in a specific order not to cause irreparable damages. The information on the removal order is available to IDS GeoRadar and to authorized repair centers only. 2. replaced with new ones when re-assembling. This material is custom built and not available to the public or to a competitor. 3. electronics of the antenna. Then carefully disconnect and withdraw the assemblies from the shield /construct assembly. When these steps are done improperly the electronics can be severely damaged. IDS GeoRadar has never released instructions on how to disassemble its units, and does not answer questions on how to do so. This information is kept internal to the company. If a unit arrives at the company's repair facility showing evidence of such tampering, the company does not repair it, but charges the customer for a new unit plus freight costs. The Commission's posting of the photographs as well as of the schematics and components list, would allow a competitor to bypass this difficult and expensive disassembly. From the photographs, a competitor can also estimate:

2. the man-hours required to assemble the device;

3. any compatibility problems the manufacturer will have in designing new systems; and 4. the age of the electronic design (which gives valuable competitive information on upgrade and R&D efforts). Access to interior photographs would almost permit a competitor to conduct a complete reverse engineering, to the point of producing a schematic. We are also noting that The Commission has previously granted confidentiality under similar conditions to several applications concerning GPR devices: e.g. QF7350HS QF742600 QF7MINIXT QLA450MHZHDR QLA160MHZHDR QLA750MHZHDR QLA80MHZHDR We are also reminding that the unit will not be made available for sale to the general public.

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:
