Quad-Band GSM & GPS - SIM5320E 3G Module w/ Antenna

The cellular module connects your Arduino or Raspberry Pi to the internet using the 3G mobile network. Just connect this module to your controller, insert in a SIM card from an operator offering 3G coverage and start controlling your world through the internet. The module uses a radio modem SIM5320 by SIMCom. The SIM5320 is a HSDPA / WCDMA and Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE modem that supports HSDPA up to 3.6Mbps for downlink data transfer. It also supports FTP, HTTP and other protocols.

The onboard logic level shifting circuitry allows the module to work with 3.3V or 5V logic. On its own, this module can't do anything. It requires a microcontroller to drive it! We suggest and use an Arduino but any 3-5V microcontroller with a UART can send and receive commands over the RX/TX pins.

Ideas for a wide range of products like PDA, MID, PND, POS, Tracker, AMI, Health Care etc.
