Note: Nominal TX power is subject to change until the relevant frequency band is formally released. See the frequency rollout plan. The values listed in this
section are typical. Actual values may differ in either direction by up to 1dB. The Transmit Power values shown in the tables below are for the radio unit only.
To determine the TX power of the complete IP-20C-HP unit, diplexer losses must also be considered.
