>Transmit power is highest when near the range limit for a cell tower, since the handset increases power when more range is needed.

Yeah, in addition to the inverse square law, devices also have a higher noise floor from adjacent devices broadcasting at higher power.

This is why banning microcells to "stop the dangers of 4G from harming our children" just increases the Tx power and SAR by orders of magnitude. But you can't argue with these people.
