Given a scenario where lowering power consumption leads to a 30% reduction in battery size and lowers components for the PSU by 20%, calculate the impact on total costs if the original battery cost was $10 and PSU components were $50.
💡 Hint: Calculate total cost before and after.
In a deployment of 10,000 IoT devices, each saving 5 mA leads to an operational cost saving of $2 per device per month. What are the total savings for a year?
💡 Hint: Consider the dimensions of scaling these savings.
