a. All measurements are preliminary values
b. Measurements are for MDM8200 MDM2.0. Consumption levels for MDM8200 MDM1.1 will be slightly higher.
c. Highest current is on Band II (PCS1900)
d. Approximate current difference between speeds = 30 mA
e. Highest current is on 850/900 band Class 10 (Class 12 implements power backoff). Current on 1800/900 bands is typically
100–200 mA less.
