    †NOTE: All antenna interfaces require cabled out external antennas and are not compatible with direct-attached antennas.

    ††Wi-Fi and cellular performance may degrade, the RX30 managed accessory is not supported, and the 5G cellular modem might fallback to LTE connectivity when operating above 70 °C.

    †††Performance testing was conducted based on requirements as defined in RFC2544 using fixed-frame 1518-byte packets. Throughput results reflect unidirectional UDP traffic with less than 1% packet loss as tested with wired connections. Results do not reflect performance of the cellular wireless operator networks.
