Power Profile 
The modem’s power consumption profile depends on the usage and the 
network configuration of the Power Save protocol. 
For example, the following numbers present a typical profile for the 
Boomer-III modem based on reasonably heavy usage and assuming a 
3.8V supply current: (Power Save Mode = Maximum) 
 
80 % Sleep @ 4.4 mA typical 
 
19.9 % Receive @ 76 mA typical 
 
0.1% Transmit @ 1.6A typical 
The actual percentage of total time spent in each state (transmit, 
receive, sleep) is a function of the following variables. 
Network configuration  
On networks supporting Power Save operation, the network 
configuration impacts how long the modem must be in the sleep state. 
NoteNeither Wavenet nor any developer has any direct control over 
the network configuration. Networks supporting Power Save are 
typically configured to preserve the battery life of modems of their 
subscriber base.
 
Message traffic model  
The message traffic model defines how many messages are transmitted 
and received, and the average length of the messages sent and received 
in a given working day. For instance, a dispatch application could have 
a message traffic model as follows: 
 
Messages transmitted in 8 hour day: 25 
 
Average length of transmission: 120 bytes 
 
Messages received in 8 hour day: 10 
 
Average length of received message: 30 bytes 
This analysis of message traffic allows the power consumption profile 
to be assessed in terms of percentage of time spent transmitting, 
receiving, and sleeping. (For more information, see Develop a Message 
Model
 on page 12.) 
Roaming Time 
The amount of time the modem spends scanning a channel or roaming 
to a new channel will affect the current consumption.
