Examples of where this will be useful are:
1. In very low signal areas i.e. underground parking,
rural areas.
2. If the tracker is in a metal container i.e. delivery
vehicle, cargo ship.
3. For any other scenario where the tracker uses too
much time for a single transmission.
Caution: Up to 30% of updates may be dropped. If the
device is unable to obtain a location and transmit within
the allocated power budget, that update will be abandoned
and the app may not show the latest position.
Strict Budget
In cases where the device is outdoors with generally good
network conditions, you may want to enable strict power
budgeting. This reduces the maximum amount of power
each update can take, extending the guaranteed minimum
life, but it will not work for devices in average to poor signal
areas.
