https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/67841/lte-connection-timeoutHi, There is an option CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_TIMEOUT for the LTE Link Control. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes) but I couldn&#39;t find any suggestions for the timeout and all of the Nordic samples are using the default timeout. For now I have 60en-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 05 Nov 2020 14:05:40 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/278619?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Nov 2020 14:05:40 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ef0fe4d1-ac20-4349-8248-f8290c5987a4Hakon<p>Hello,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [quote user=""]How much does the connect process consume power?[/quote] <p>&nbsp;the avg. current draw during scanning is 35 mA.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [quote user=""]Do you have any suggestions for how long the timeout should be?[/quote] <p>&nbsp;You need to test how long it takes to attach to your network. You can apply the <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ref_at_commands/REF/at_commands/mob_termination_ctrl_status/xbandlock_set.html">bandlock </a>command if you know the bands of your network, then you can scan on these bands exclusively. That should speed up the connection time.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [quote user=""]What are the differences on LTE-M and NB-IoT connection processes or are there any differences? Connection time, power consumption?[/quote] <p>&nbsp;I&#39;m not sure if there are differences in the initial connection process. There are differences when moving between base stations.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
