&lt;p&gt;You could try the &lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/nrf9160/udp/README.html"&gt;UDP sample&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Could you share somedetails about your hardware? say, link to what Raytac module you are using and also some other information about&amp;nbsp;the custom HW.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would also be good to know how&amp;nbsp;you are measuring the current as these spikes can be form other components on the custom board.&lt;/p&gt;

It has a LIS2DH accelerometer and a SM351LT magneto sensor connected, but i do NOT use them. I just run an empty main with no includes or whatsoever. My expectation is that it is something hardware related.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: High current consumption</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/424993?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2023 05:33:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:73fc1de6-bcdb-4e26-8436-4da7a219fe6f</guid><dc:creator>Priyanka</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you using a custom board or one of Nordic development kits? Do you have any extra peripherals, components etc connected to your board?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
