What happens when Turning up the transmit power or utilizing a high-gain antenna to reach wireless users from a distance increases your exposure to?

Answer 1

Turning up the transmitter power is a good way to insure that more cellphones,

farther away, can hear the base station. But it doesn't to anything to help the

base station hear the cellphones that are farther away. The only way to increase

the coverage range reciprocally is to do something with the antenna. But that's a

catch-22 . . . a higher-gain antenna has a narrower beam-width. So it works farther

out, but only through a narrower 'window' of directions.
