WaveShare SIM7000E eMTC EDGE GPRS GNSS, HAT Module for Raspberry Pi

Product detailed description

WaveShare SIM7000E eMTC EDGE GPRS GNSS, HAT Module for Raspberry Pi

This Raspberry Pi HAT has multiple communication functions: NB-IoT, eMTC, EDGE, GPRS and GNSS.

NB-IoT and eMTC are growing IoT communication technologies developed from LTE (4G), with advantages include low power, low cost, wide coverage, etc. They are suitable for applications such as smart tools, remote control, asset tracking, remote monitoring, E-health, mobile POS terminals, bike sharing, etc. While GSM/GPRS and EDGE are traditional 2G/2.5G technologies capable of sending SMS or making other wireless communications.

Functions

• Compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W / Zero WH / 2B / 3B / 3B +
• Supports TCP, UDP, PPP, HTTP, FTP, MQTT, SMS, Mail, etc.
• Supports GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo)
• On-board USB interface for testing AT commands, obtaining GPS position data, etc
• UART interface, for connection with boards like Arduino / STM32
• On-board voltage regulator, 3.3 V by default, allows switching to 5 V with 0Ω resistor
• SIM card slot, compatible with normal SIM card and NB-IoT specific card
• 2x LED indicators, easy monitoring of working status
• Transfer rate: 300 bps ~ 3686400 bps
• AT command control (3GPP TS 27,007, 27,005 and SIMCOM AT commands)
• Supports SIM application suite: SAT Class 3, GSM 11.14 Release 98, USAT
• Comes with development resources and manual (examples Raspberry Pi / Arduino / STM32)
