GSM/GPRS  TTL  -Modem  from  rhydoLABZ  is  built  with  SIM C OM   M ake  S IM 900  Quad-band     

GSM/GPRS  engine,  works  on  frequencies  850  MHz,  900  MHz,  1800  MHz  and  1900  MHz.  It  is  very 
compact  in  size  and  easy  to  use  as  plug  in  GSM  Modem.  The  Modem  is  designed  with  3V3/5V  TTL 
interfacing circuitry,  which  allows you  to  directly interface   to  5V  microcontrollers( PIC,Arduino,AVR ect) 
as  well  as    3V3  Microcontrollers  (  ARM,ARM  Cortex  XX,  ect)  .The  baud  rate  can be  configurable  from 
9600-115200  through  AT  command. Initially Modem is in Autobaud mode. This  GSM/GPRS  TTL  Modem  is 
having  internal  TCP/IP  stack  to enable  you  to  connect  with  internet  via  GPRS.  It  is  suitable  for  SMS  as 
well  as  DATA  transfer application in M2M interface. 

 

 

The  modem    needed  only  two    wires  (Tx,Rx)    except    Power  supply  to    interface  with 

microcontroller/Host. The  built  in  Low Dropout Linear  voltage regulator  allows  you  to  connect  wide range of  
unregulated  power supply (4.2V -13V). Yes, 5 V is in between !! .Using this modem,  you will be able to  send  
& Read SMS, connect to internet via GPRS  through simple AT commands.
