This document outlines TrellisWare Technologies' request for confidentiality from the FCC regarding certain exhibits related to their device, identified by FCC ID 2A6X2-875A. The request is made under FCC regulations 47 CFR 0.457(d)(1)(ii) and 0.459, as well as FCC guidance published in KDB 726920. TrellisWare seeks to protect sensitive information, including block diagrams, operational descriptions, parts lists, schematics, internal photos, user guides, tune-up procedures, and software/security details, by designating them as long-term confidential (LTC).
The rationale behind this request is that the disclosed information contains trade secrets and proprietary details not typically released to the public. Public disclosure could harm TrellisWare and provide unfair advantages to competitors. The company emphasizes that internal photos are protected because the radios are factory-sealed, lack user-serviceable parts, and are sold under agreements that prohibit disassembly or information disclosure. Furthermore, access to documentation is restricted to customers who have signed confidentiality agreements. This request aims to safeguard TrellisWare's competitive edge and protect its intellectual property.
