Product description: NB-IoT GSM SIM7020E - communication module for Raspberry Pi Pico - Waveshare 19622
ThePico-SIM7020E-NB-IoTis an NB-IoT (NarrowBand - Internet of Things) module compatible with theRaspberry Pi Picoboard, which has been manufactured by Waveshare. It supports a wide spectrum of NB-IoT frequency bands and communication protocols such asHTTP / MQTT / LWM2M / COAP. The SIM7020E GSM module can also be controlled fromAT commands. A number of advantages includelow latency, low power consumption andwide range, making the NB-IoT GSM SIM7020E applicable in smart instrument design, asset tracking, mobile POS terminals, smart gauges or remote monitoring.
The NB-IoT GSM SIM7020E is a communication module for Raspberry Pi Pico.
Product is compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico.
Aproduct wiki pagehas been made available on the manufacturer's website, which contains a detailed user guide to help you get started with the module. There are also instructions for connecting the modules and sample program code.
Connecting the Pico-SIM7020E-NB-IoT to the Raspberry Pi Pico. TheRaspberry Pi Picoboard is not part of the kit, it can be purchased separately from our store.
Special features
- Comes with a connector to make it compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico
- Uses UART communication, can be controlled by AT commands
- Supports a wide range of communication protocols and cloud platforms
