  1. PRE-SALES SUPPORT

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

Location
Zones
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 details please see

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
