nRF9160 wake for only 1 minute in a 24 hours period, what's the mean current consumption?

If nRF9160 stay almost all day in sleep, wake via RTC for a period of 1 minute and in this 1 minute period only make a GPS cold start, get the GPS coordinates and transmit them via the cellular network, around 50 bytes, and get back to sleep for more 24 hours, what would be the estimated mean current consumption of the module in microamperes for the period of 24 hours?

Thanks a lot for the feedback, Jeferson!

Just one question here:

wake via RTC for a period of 1 minute and in this 1 minute period only make a GPS cold start, get the GPS coordinates and transmit them via the cellular network,

Downloading GPS data from a satellite normally takes around 12 minutes, so that will not be possible to do within 1 minute. Did I understand you right that this is what you want to do?

Hi Markus.

I want to send once per day the GPS coordinates to a server, and I need the nRF9160 to be awake the shortest time possible to generate less consumption of the battery, the remaining time of the day the module will stay in sleep mode. Is there a way to download the informations of the satelites just one time and keep them in the RAM while it is in sleep in order when it wakes each 24 hours it can make a cold start  of the GPS and get the coordinates and then send them to the server? What are the alternatives?

Regards.
