    Abstract: A battery-powered stationary measuring device, measuring or detecting a utility installation value, includes a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) connection module configured to establish a wireless communication connection to a LPWAN for communicating data to a head-end-system (HES) and attempt to successfully establish a connection to the LPWAN by selectively conducting one of the group comprising: an extended LPWAN search and a limited LPWAN search; veto the extended LPWAN search as long as a savings threshold for a total number or amount of power budget savings has not been reached; increase the total of power budget savings for unsuccessful limited LPWAN searches; and allow the extended LPWAN search if the total number or amount of power budget savings has reached the savings threshold. The total number or total amount of power budget savings is reduced with each conducted extended LPWAN search.
