# Radio zones and power

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)<br>

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
