2.3.2  Radio and Physical Layer Specifications 
The PureWave Quantum Family of base stations is available in several model variants that 
support a variety of frequency bands in accordance with the regulatory requirements of a 
number of countries. Because several deployment-specific variables (e.g., antenna type, cable 
type and length, EMS settings, etc) can affect the effective power output and other 
characteristics of the system, it is the customer’s responsibility to assure that each deployment 
of this product meets applicable regulations. Guidelines and rules are provided as a 
supplement to this manual, specific to each region and model. In addition, the PureView NMS, 
the Web UI, and the CLI all provide guidelines and feedback to ensure an appropriate 
installation. 
Table 4 lists key radio-related specifications of PureWave Quantum base stations. Note that 
some features may not be currently available, but are planned for future software releases.
