Transmit Power Parameter

Transmit Power Parameter
The transmit power parameter describes the power levels that the technology uses when transmitting
data and invoking power management processes. The transmit power of wireless LANs
generally falls below 1 watt. Transmit power affects requirements for geographical coverage
area because higher transmit power increases range. Higher power levels, however, decrease
battery longevity, which can be challenging to overcome in portable and mobile devices
