not directly observable, such as buildings, caves, tunnels and alleys, and has strong endorsements from law enforcement and emergency responding agencies. The device operate at 2.4 GHz with 1,000 mW for transmitting the audio and video to a control point, and at 902-928 MHz with emitted power of less than 1,000 mW for the command and control data transmission, Remington Arms said. The Eyeball configuration would employ an antenna approved for use with the certified AeroComm AC4490-1000 chip or its equivalent and would comply with Commission requirements, it said. But it said the transmission plan doesn’t meet the FCC’s power limits, so a waiver is needed. Remington Arms said the waiver wouldn’t violate basic principles of Part 15, which requires unlicensed devices not to interfere with the licensed. “Although the Eyeball R1 will exceed the applicable Part 15 limits for analog devices, it will not create significant interference,” it said: “Any such interference will be limited to the immediate area of emergency, temporary operations or to defined training areas and will serve the higher public interest objective of safety to life and homeland security. Moreover, the potential for disruption will be of limited duration and is unlikely to recur in the same area or location.”
