SIM808 GSM GPRS GPS Dev Board IPX SMA with
GPS Antenna for Arduino Raspberry Pi
Introduction:
SIM808 GSM GPRS GPS Dev Board IPX SMA with GPS Antenna is a complete Quad-
Band GSM/GPRS module, which combines GPS technology for satellite navigation. The
compact design, which integrated GPRS and GPS in a SMT package, will significantly save time
and make it easier for users to develop GPS enabled applications. Featuring an industry-standard
interface and GPS function, it allows variable assets to be tracked at any location and anytime
with signal coverage. The module can also be controlled via AT commands.
