eDRX

Extended Discontinuous Reception: the device listens to the network only every few seconds or minutes, saving battery while staying reachable.

eDRX stretches the interval at which a device checks for incoming messages. It sits between always listening and PSM's deep sleep.

Why it matters for business

Useful when devices must react to commands within minutes but still run on batteries, for example smart locks or remote switches.
