## Data Rates
### Considerations
Various data-rate options are available when configuring a channel and are inversely proportional to the theoretical range of the devices.

### Adjust a channel
You can change the following settings by tapping on the name of an existing channel:
1. MQTT Uplink
2. MQTT Downlink
3. Position precision value
#### Position Precision
The precision levels currently used in the app correspond to the following values:
- HIGH_PRECISION (32), full precision
- MED_PRECISION (16), around ±350 meters
- LOW_PRECISION (11), around ±11 kilometers
- DISABLED (0), location data is never sent over the given channel
