Remark
*1 QCN9274 supports 4.9GHz, 320MHz bandwidth, 512 users (vs 128), 37 user DL/UL OFDMA (vs 8)
*2 Properly designed thermal solution with the device is required to support high operating temperature, including heatsink and thermal solution should be designed and integrated with the end device mechanical
*3 The FEM is powered from pin 17/19/21/23, and supports up to 5.25V per datasheet. However, the Tx power/EVM is only valid with +3.3V input voltage 
*4 Per Qualcomm, additional EMI solution should be implemented on the main board, pls refer to Qualcomm document:  "80_71472_1_AA_WSI_Emission_Mitigation_on_IPQ9574_a"
