Why care about Telephone Communication Power (TCP)?

Telephone Communication Power requirements for a mobile phone refer to the amount of energy in watts that a phone needs for transmission. A phone with a higher TCP value is better at communicating with the base and can work at a lower effective output. This means that a person using a phone with a higher TCP value is exposed to less emitted radiation. TCO Development, a labeling and certification organization in Sweden, provides more information about TCP as well as TCP test results for a variety of mobile phones.
