    Unknown error 11.4 Setting WWAN Priority Mode MC93 features ultra-low power consumption by supporting Extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX), a feature in NB-Iot and LTE M that enables developers to set, and later change how long a device stays in low-power sleep mode before it wakes up to listen for any network indications for pending data, thus reducing the power consumption.
