GSM/GPRS Quad Band TTL Micro Sim Card Board- SIM 800L

SIM800L Module is a miniature cellular GSM/GPRS breakout board that allows GPRS transmission, sending and receiving messages and making and receiving calls. This module supports quad-band GSM/GPRS network, which is available for GPRS and SMS data remote transmission.
 

The board features compact size and low current consumption. With power saving technique, the current consumption is as low as 1mA in sleep mode. It communicates with microcontroller via UART port, supports command including 3GPP TS 27.007, 27.005 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands. It also has built-in level translation, so it can work with microcontroller of higher voltage than 2.8V default. Besides, the board also supports A-GPS technique which is called mobile positioning and gets position by mobile network. These features help the device to make a tracker.
 

Having a small footprint, quad-band frequency support and low price make it perfect for any project that requires long-range connectivity. The device uses a serial communication method, so it communicates with almost every controller via the UART port. After connecting power supply module boots up, searches for cellular network and login automatically.

Specification:
 

• Supply voltage: 3.8V to 4.2V (4V recommended)
• Power consumption:
  • Sleep mode: <2mA
  • Ideal mode: <7mA
• GSM transmission (average): 350mA
• GSM transmission (peak): 2000mA
• Interface: UART (max 2.8V, serial interface)
• Command support: 3G PP TS 27. 007, 27. 005 and SIMCOM enhanced AT commands

Note:

• Module consumes 2A (peak)
• The maximum recommended voltage in UART is 2.8V. More than this will damage the module
• If the power supply can not feed the required current well, the module will shut down.It will reset in the middle of action.
