Transmit Power
The transmit power level may require adjustment if power consumption is a concern or in regions
where there are transmit power restrictions. Lowering the power output reduces power consumption,
but it also reduces the wireless communication range between the gateways and nodes.
NOTE
Actual range is highly dependent on how the nodes and gateways are installed and the
conditions in the surrounding environment (
).
