INTRODUCTION
BOARD FEATURES
ELECTROSTATIC WARNING
BOARD USE REQUIREMENTS
The MOD-GSM-EDGE board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The
board must not be subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for
working with static sensitive devices should be applied when working with this
board.
Hardware:
Important:
MOD-GSM-EDGE, connected to other Olimex board with UEXT connector is
excellent choice for adding remote monitoring and control in remote places by
GSM cellular network. Depending on the features of the other board, for example,
you can transfer digital data, measure analog values, connect to internet by GSM
network. MOD-GSM-EDGE can be connected to computer via on-board mini USB
connector. Also the board can work in standalone mode, but only when the SIM
card is without PIN code. In standalone mode MOD-GSM-EDGE requires usage of
AT commands. It can receive information by GSM network, but if you want to
operate with this information, you will need appropriate board with UEXT
connected to MOD-GSM-EDGE. Choose the other board depending on the
application you want to have. MOD-GSM-EDGE contains SIM700D - quad-band
GSM GPRS/EDGE module 850/900/1800/1900Mhz inside which covers most
used GSM networks around the world. SIM700D supports EDGE protocol which
assures faster data transfer. The GSM antenna is built in the board so no need for
external expensive GSM antennas.
