When streaming BBC iPlayer at highest video quality
IMPORTANT:
Power consumption currents are measurements of average current.
When the cellular connection is active there will be short current pulses significantly
greater than the average values provided. It is important that the 12V supply used to
power the router can deliver at least 2.0 A to prevent network disconnections caused
by these current pulses.
All current measurements with the cellular modem enabled are started after the
router has obtained an IP address from the cellular network and is in a steady state.
An 800 MHz LTE cell with a measured signal strength of 15 was used when taking
measurements. Measurements for all communication interfaces are with them
enabled and connected but no traffic flowing. WiFi is used with both 2.4G and 5G
enabled. LAN power measurements are made with a single LAN port used. GPS is
measured after a position fix has been obtained.
IMPORTANT:
BBC iPlayer may be accessed at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer. Much
content could be blocked outside of the UK, but BBC news is always likely to be
available internationally.
The power consumption when used with UMTS, LTE and 5G NR networks is broadly
similar. Cellular power consumption will be affected will be affected more strongly
by proximity to the serving cell (closer to the cell = less transmitting power required),
weather (heavy rain/snow = more signal attenuation and greater transmit power) and
operating band (lower frequencies are generally lower power).
