The SIM5360E series is a Dual-Band HSPA+/WCDMA and Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE module solution in an SMT type that supports HSPA+ up to 14.4Mbps for downlink data transfer. It supports 3G network and combines GPS technology for satellite navigation. Besides, it also supports A-GPS which is available for indoor localization. And it also supports eCALL.
The module is controlled by AT command via UART and supports 3.3V and 5V logical levels. If you want to do some applications, we have some examples for you to refer to. M2M (Machine 2 Machine) Applications - To transfer control data using SMS or GPRS between two machines located at two different factories.
Remote control of appliances - Send an SMS while you are at your office to turn on or off your washing machine at home. Remote Weather station or a Wireless Sensor Network - Make it with [Crowduino v1.0|Crowduino v1.0] and create a sensor node capable of transferring sensor data (like from a weather station - temperature, humidity, etc.) to a web server (like pachube.com).
Vehicle Tracking System - Install GPRS+GSM+GPS Shield in your car and publish your location live on the internet. Can be used as an automotive burglar alarm.
And when you set about using it, please notice these tips:
1: Make sure your SIM card is unlocked.
2: The product is provided as is without an insulating enclosure. Please observe ESD precautions especially in dry (low humidity) weather.
3: The factory default setting for the GPRS Shield UART is autobaoding.
It supports the baud rate from 1200 bps to 115200bps. (Can be changed using AT commands).
