Description
Shield for Arduino providing access to Internet via GPRS network. The device also allows you to make voice calls and send SMS messages. On the board are connectors: for SIM, output/input of audio and a slot for an external antenna.
Board uses to communicate two pins of Arduino Uno: 2 - software TX and 3 - RX software.
The device is based on the modem MT10 Quactel (documentation) which is compatible with the popular set of AT commands. This system works with frequencies: GSM850MHz, GSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and PCS1900MHz, supports the TCP/IP and HTTP over GPRS connection. The maximum transmission rate is 85.6 kbps.

The manufacturer provides auser manual, together with a library and sample programs, which facilitate the maintenance of the shield. The library is for Arduino Uno,check out how to connect the board with the Leonardo, Mega I Yun. |
Power
The manufacturer recommends to connect a separate power supply with maximum current of between 0.7 and 1.0 A. The powering the system directly from USB port is not recommended because of the limited current.
Antenna
This version has a SMA connector for connecting an external antenna. In our offer, you will find also Arduino GSM Shield with integrated antenna.
