With the current radio the range can not be lowered below 11.5dB. For our new hardware platform Nexus due to be released in Q4 it will be possible to do this.

The question is - is it possible to reduce Smartbridges radio TX power (SB in general, I believe radios used in your devices are equal) down to say +3dBm? By doing this I could use higher gain antena, stay within legal EIRP limit and achieve longer link. Now, I do know that there's dial-a-power which allows regulation down to 11.5dBm. I am also aware that SB units can be managed via generic Atmel SNMP configurator and there you can put hex values for each channel to manipulate TX power. These guys http://www.dcom.cz/docs/wlan/wen2021/vykon2021.htm claim they could drive similiar device down to -8dBm (!). Can someone please confirm or deny this and possibly provide some further explanation why or why not that is possible? I'll appreciate some in-depth technical answer, if possible.
