SIM808 GPRS/GSM+GPS Shield

Application:

1. M2M (Machine 2 Machine) Application – To transfer control data using SMS or GPRS between two machines located at two different factories.
2. Remote control of appliances – Send SMS while you are at your office to turn on or off your washing machine at home.
3. Remote Weather station or a Wireless Sensor Network – Make it with [Crowduino v1.0|Crowduino v1.0] and create a sensor node capable of transferring sensor data (like from a weather station – temperature, humidity, etc.) to a web server
4. Vehicle Tracking System – Install GPRS+GSM+GPS Shield in your car and publish your location live on the internet. Can be used as an automotive burglar alarm.

Features:

1. Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz
2. GPRS multi-slot class12 connectivity: max. 85.6kbps(down-load/up-load)
3. GPRS mobile station class B
4. Controlled by AT Command (3GPP TS 27.007, 27.005 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands)
5. Supports charging control for Li-Ion battery
6. Supports Real-Time Clock
7. Integrated GPS/CNSS and supports A-GPS
8. Low power consumption, 10mA in sleep mode
9. Supports GPS NMEA protocol
10. AT command operation, can support SMS, phone, GPRS data, GPS data is automatically output, embedded TCP protocol to support transparent mode and command mode, supports HTTP protocol to support DTMF decoding, support MMS, support recording function, etc.
11. Standard Micro SIM Card.

Interface Function:

Power supply – Vin connected to external 5~9VDC power supply

Antenna interface – connected to external antenna

Serial port select – select either software serial port or hareware serial port to be connected to GPRS+GSM+GPS Shield Shield

Hardware Serial – D0/D1 of Arduino/Crowduino

Software serial – D7/D8 of Arduino/Crowduino

Status LED – tell whether the power of SIM808 is on

Net light – tell the status about SIM808 linking to the net

1PPS – tell the status about SIM808 get the location

UART of SIM808 – UART pins breakout of SIM808

Microphone – to answer the phone call

Speaker – to answer the phone call

GPIO,PWM and ADC of SIM808 – GPIO,PWM and ADC pins breakout of SIM808

Power key – power up and down for SIM808

Cautions:

1. Make sure your SIM card is unlocked.
2. The product is provided as is without an insulating enclosure. Please observe ESD precautions especially in dry (low humidity) weather.
3. The factory default setting for the GPRS Shield UART is autoloading. It supports baud rate from 1200 bps to 115200bps. (Can be changed using AT commands).
