GSM/GPRS Shield with GPS Receiver PA6E-CAM


Quick Overview :

This is a very low cost and simple Arduino GSM and GPRS shield. We use the module SIMCom SIM900A.

The Shield connects your Arduino to the internet using the GPRS wireless network. Just plug this module onto your Arduino board, plug in a SIM card from an operator offering GPRS coverage and follow a few simple instructions to start controlling your world through the internet. You can also make/receive voice calls (you will need an external speaker and microphone circuit) and send/receive SMS messages.

GPS module from GlobalTop: PA6E-CAM, based on MediaTek MT3333 chipset. Possibility of using both systems improves position accuracy and shortens cold start time, especially in difficult satellite signal conditions.

Module is pin-to-pin and functionally compatible to older PA6E module based on MT3329 chipset. Thus it is possible simple migration to this module without changing of printed boards.
