BG96 current consumption in CAT-M and GSM

IoT Modules LPWA Module
1

Hi, I was doing some tests and checking current consumption when the module is registered in CAT-M or GSM. I noticed that the current consumption when is registered in CAT-M is bigger than when it’s registered in GSM. I’m talking about a difference of more than 80mA in the same position and with the same conditions. Is this normal?

Dear @Rafa_Hernandez ,

Thank you for reaching out with your query,

Cat-M generally have a higher power consumption than NBIOT.In this case, you may refer below:

The snipshot represent power consumption during in GSM mode, Kindly check this document for further info:

Please check on your side whether the power consumption on this values during GSM mode

Thank You and Have a Great Day!
