Federal Communication Commission
Confidentiality request
FCC ID: YOBCBOXMICRO6XX
Applicant: Convadis AG
Chaltenbodenstrasse 4
CH-8834 Schindellegi
Switzerland
To whom it may concern:
Convadis AG requests that the documents listed below be withheld from public inspection in
accordance with section 0.459 of the Commission’s Rules.
Documents for which the confidentiality request is sought:
File name:
- BlockDiagram.pdf Block diagram
- OperationalDescription.pdf OperationalDescription
- CBox micro Mifare USB.pdf Schematic and Layout RFID
- CBox micro main.pdf Schematic and Layout
All of these documents treat confidential business information. Disclosure would, in effect, give away
the fruits of the labours of Convadis’s engineering department and personnel, who have designed the
equipment and manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted
insight into the state of the product development.
The information contained in these documents is kept confidential by Convadis and not made
available to third parties except to non-disclosure agreements.
The material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in the design are
made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead so insights into both design
and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter
Sincerely
Stefan Spuhler

Operational description
CBox micro: The On Board System for CarSharing and Fleet Management
Our On Board Systems are uniquely designed to manage multiple business cases.
Our systems have the ability to manage vehicle pools where multiple clients have
access to one vehicle. The system assures that the vehicle can only be utilized by
the clients with valid reservations. The On Board System not only grants and tracks
access, it also captures all the data required and desired and provides the
Reservation System with the ability to track and bill the trip.
• Self Servicing Decentralized Access Control of Vehicles
• Access is granted by sending a reservation SMS to the vehicles On Board
System (e.g. by web based reservation system). The validated client opens/
closes the vehicle by RFID card.
• Reservations are changeable directly at the unit itself. The information are
visible at the display and are changed over the softkeys.
• The car key becomes useless without reservation and RFID card, because
the immobilizer is controlled by our unit (relay). This allows for the key to be
stored in the vehicle (e.g. glove box). No vehicle key hand-off is required.
• Transmission and acquisition of trip data (mileage, driven miles, vehicle
opening and closing times).
• The car can be located over GPS. The coordinates are sent to a central
server by SMS.
• The unit has two slots for a fuel and parking card which are detected by
mechanical switches.
