Radio zones and power
Both Sigfox and LoRa operate at different frequencies with different power in different countries.
Standard power is +15 dBm and Hgh power is +22 dBm
Power current while emitting is 25mA in Standard power and 100mA in High power
Europe, Middle East, Africa
RC1
Standard power
USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil
RC2
High power
Japan
RC3
Standard power
Central and South America, Australia, Southeast Asia
RC4
High power
South Korea
RC5
Standard power
India
RC6
Standard power
If you have a highly radio-attenuated object in RC1 you can use High power but would require the whole object to be certified to meet the regulation and the battery longevity will be shorter based on the power used (one-half to one-third of battery life)

For LoRa it is a little bit more complicated but roughly matches the Sigfox scheme
Please get Standard power for Europe and High power for Canada and the USA
