This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help. WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr could void the users authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 33 cm between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 6 | 98-2386 Rev AA Data Sheet Series 5 Network Node N501 & N551 Data Sheet Cet quipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux radiations FCC dfinies pour un environnement non contrl.

Antenna types not included in the list below or a having higher gain than the maximum indicated for that type, are prohibited for use with this device. The antennas approved for use with the device:

Industry Canada Manufacturer: Airgain MPN: ET960NPMR2 Type: Dipole, omni-directional Peak Antenna Gain: 5.7 dBi Information on Test Modes and Additional Testing Requirements A diagnostic test mode is available to device integrators that allows control of the transmitter in order to execute FCC 15.247 compliance testing. This mode of operation provides a basic command interface over a dedicated serial port. Further information on how to enable this mode of operation and a description of the command interface is available to device integrators upon request and under NDA. Additional Testing, Part 15 Subpart B Disclaimer The end product with an embedded N551 Network Node may also need to pass the FCC Part 15 unintentional emission testing requirements and be properly authorized per FCC Part 15 Subpart B. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter (5294A-NG0R1S5) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

August 19, 2020 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Rd. Columbia, MD 21046 Dear Sir or Madam:

I hereby appoint Marlene Sealey at TV SD America to act as our agent in the preparation of an application for equipment authorization of FCC ID: R7PNG0R1S5 to the FCC Rules and Regulations. I certify that all exhibits contained within this filing properly describe the device or system for which authorization is sought. I further certify that appropriate arrangements have been made to assure that production units of this equipment bearing the name and FCC IDENTIFIER listed in this application will continue to comply with the Commission's requirements. I further certify by signature below that no party (per 47 CFR 1.2002(b)) to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits, including FCC benefits, pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. 853(a). This appointment also includes the authority to complete FCC Form 731 on our behalf and sign the application as an authorized agent. Sincerely, Name: James L. Stortz Title: Director of Hardware Engineering 30000 Mill Creek Avenue, Suite 100 | Alpharetta, GA 30022 Tel: +1 678 258 1637 | Fax: +1 678 258 1681

CONFIDENTIALITY REQUEST Federal Communications Commission Date: August 19, 2020 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 the N501 under FCC ID: R7PNG0R1S5 in accordance with FCC Regulations 0.459. The confidentiality request applies to the System Block Diagram, Schematics, Parts List, and Theory of Operation contained in this filing. The N501 has 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. 30000 Mill Creek Avenue, Suite 100 | Alpharetta, GA 30022 Tel: +1 678 258 1637 | Fax: +1 678 258 1681

File James L. Stortz N501, FCC ID: R7PNG0R1S5 Modular Approval Request August 19, 2020 To:

From:

Subject:

Scope 47CFR 15.212 communicates requirements for products requesting modular approval. Eight requirements are enumerated along with a request that each of the eight be explained for any product requesting such approval. It is the purpose of this document to respond to those eight requirements regarding the Landis+Gyr product: N501. Modular Approval Requirements 1.1 RF Shielding The N501 module is self-shielding and is not dependent on any component or characteristic of the device into which it is embedded. Shielding is accomplished through a combination of metallic self-shielding components, copper planes, guards, and vias in the PCB. The result is a design that has been proven to be neither sensitive to outside influence nor capable of introducing interference into outside components. 1.2 Buffered Modulation / Data Inputs The N501 module does not have external modulation or data inputs. Rather, the RF sections are driven by an on-board microprocessor which directly controls the RF data lines and operates so as to not allow excessive modulation. 1.3 Power Supply Regulation The N501 module uses on-board filtering to provide all the electronics with a supply that is fixed, even when the input voltage is varied. 1.4 Antenna Requirement The N501 module utilizes a 5.7dBi dipole antenna. 1.5 Stand-Alone Testing All testing on the N501 module was conducted standalone. No shields or enclosures were used, other than those fully integrated into the modules themselves. No ferrites were used on data or power lines during testing. These devices are DC powered and exceed applicable conducted emission requirements. 1.6 Labeling As indicated, each N501 module will have its own FCC ID label. In addition, devices into which they are placed will have labels indicating that this module is contained within. Exact text will be as specified in 47CFR 15.212. 1.7 Specific Rules and Operating Requirements The N501 module complies with all pertinent rules for its section. 1.8 RF Exposure Requirements The N501 module complies with all exposure requirements. As a component used in the Utility industry, this product is not intended for use near human operators. This module undergoes continuous, rigorous testing to ensure that full compliance is always maintained. Sincerely, James L.
