a: AxC W in the Maximum Output Power column indicates that the number of TX
channels of the RF module is A and the maximum output power of each TX channel is C
W.

When the RRU5903 (1900 MHz) works only in GSM mode, it supports a maximum
configuration of 2x60 W or the configuration of 80 W on one channel (PA2) only. It does not
support the configuration of 80 W on both channels.

 Each value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the Typical Power Configurations document
indicates the maximum output power of each carrier under the corresponding configuration while
ensuring the network performance. The actually configured carrier power of RF modules can be less
than or equal to the value of Output Power per Carrier (W) in the document. The power
configuration that is not supported in the document may be configurable on the software. Huawei
can only promise the performance with the power configurations listed in the document.
