graylogix GSM Shield for Arduino Double-Sided PCB

The GPRS/GSM Shield provides you a way to use the GSM cell phone network to receive data from a remote location. The shield allows you to achieve this via any of the three methods: Short Message Service Audio GPRS Service The GPRS/GSM Shield is compatible with all boards which have the same form factor (and pinout) as a standard Arduino Board. The GPRS/GSM Shield is configured and controlled via its UART using simple AT commands. Based on the SIM800A module from SIMCOM, it is like a cell phone. Besides the communications features, the GPRS/GSM Shield has 6 GPIOs, 2 PWMs and an ADC. Features Quad-Band 850 / 900/ 1800 / 1900 MHz – would work on GSM networks in all countries across the world. GPRS multi-slot class 10/8 GPRS mobile station class B Compliant to GSM phase 2/2+ Class 4 (2 W @ 850 / 900 MHz) Class 1 (1 W @ 1800 / 1900MHz) Control via AT commands – Standard Commands: GSM 07.07 & 07.05 | Enhanced Commands: SIMCOM AT Commands. Short Message Service – so that you can send and receive small amounts of data over the network (ASCII or raw hexadecimal). Embedded TCP/UDP stack – allows you to upload data to a web server. RTC supported. Selectable serial port. Self-Powered through Arduino, doesn’t require external power supply. Low power consumption – 1.5mA(sleep mode) Industrial Temperature Range – -40°C to +85 °C Application Ideas: M2M (Machine 2 Machine) Applications – To transfer control data using SMS or GPRS between two machines located at two different factories. Remote control of appliances – Send SMS while you are at your office to turn on or off your washing machine at home. Remote Weather station or a Wireless Sensor Network – Mate 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 (like pachube.com). Vehicle Tracking System – Couple the GPRS Shield with an Arduino and GPS module and install it in your car and publish your location live on the internet. Can be used as a automotive burglar alarm.
