GSM GPRS Shield

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.

Order Code : RDL/GSM-GPRS/14/001/V3.0

    Dear Sir

    Kindly go through the below links and the difference between the modems,

    1. http://researchdesignlab.com/gsm-gprs-sim900a-modem-compatible-for-arduino.html

    RDL/RGS/14/001/V1.0 -> This is a simple arduino shield which gets mounted on top or any arduino uno or arduino uno clone boards. Needs an adapter of 12V,2A to turn on this modem plugged into arduino uno DC socket. Other arduino shields could be mounted on top of this. No audio/mic jack are present on board.

    2.http://researchdesignlab.com/gsm-modem-arduino-compatible.html

    RDL/GSM-A/14/14/001/V3.0 -> This is a simple arduino shield which gets mounted on top or any arduino uno or arduino uno clone boards. Needs an adapter of 12V,2A to turn on this modem plugged into arduino uno DC socket. Other arduino shields can not mounted on top of this. Audio/mic jack are present on board.

    3. http://researchdesignlab.com/gsm-gprs-shield.html

    RDL/GSM-GPRS/14/001/V3.0 , -> is an industrial standard grade product with current controlling IC on board. This is also an arduino shield which gets mounted on top or any arduino uno or arduino uno clone boards. No need of external power supply for the arduino board.(USB power is enough). This has got inbuilt DC to DC converter.
