12.3. GL6110 Power Consumption
Only one DC input (Vin) was used to measure the GL6110 power consumption. For more information
on the consumption measurement procedure, refer to section 12.4 Consumption Measurement
Procedure.
Note that power consumption performance is software related. The results listed in the following sub-
sections were based on Firmware 7.4a. Refer to section 10.3 Operating System Upgrade Procedure
for more information on upgrading the software.
12.3.1. Power Consumption without the Sierra Wireless
Software Suite
Note: TX = the current peak is the RF transmission burst (Tx burst)
RX = the current peak is the RF reception burst (Rx burst)
