Adafruit FONA 808 Shield - Mini Cellular GSM + GPS for Arduino

Description

Cellular + GPS tracking, all in one, for your Arduino? Oh yes! Introducing Adafruit FONA 808 GSM + GPS Shield, an all-in-one cellular phone module that lets you add location-tracking, voice, text, SMS, and data to your project, in Arduino shield format for easy use.

This shield fits right over your Arduino or compatible. At the heart is a powerful GSM cellular module (we use the latest SIM808) with integrated GPS. This module can do just about everything

• Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz - connect onto any global GSM network with any 2G SIM (in the USA, T-Mobile is suggested)
• Fully-integrated GPS (MT3337 chipset with -165 dBm tracking sensitivity) that can be controlled and query over the same serial port
• Make and receive voice calls using a headset or an external 32Ω speaker + electret microphone
• Send and receive SMS messages
• Send and receive GPRS data (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.)
• PWM/Buzzer vibrational motor control
• AT command interface with "auto baud" detection

Here are the GPS specifications

• 22 tracking /66 acquisition channels
• GPS L1 C/A code
• Sensitivity
• Tracking: -165 dBm
• Cold starts : -148 dBm
• Time-To-First-Fix
• Cold starts: 32s (typ.)
• Hot starts: 1s (typ.)
• Warm starts: 5s (typ.)
• Accuracy: approx 2.5 meters

Sounds delicious, right? So we plated this fine module onto a shield with all the extras you need to make your next project shine

• Onboard LiPoly battery charging circuitry so you can take your project on the go. Use any 500mAh+ LiPoly or LiIon battery and recharge via the Arduino when necessary. Two LEDs let you know when its charging and done. You can then flip the switch and use the battery to run your circuit!
• Standard 4-pole TRRS headphone jack. Use any 'Android' or 'iPhone'-compatible headset with mic
• Breakouts for external 32Ω speaker and electret mic if you don't want to use a headphone
• Level shifting circuitry to make it Arduino-safe
• Vibrational motor (buzzer) driver so you can have noiseless notifications
• uFL connection for external passive GPS & external GSM antenna
• Indicator LEDs for power and network connectivity
• Any standard 2G SIM slides into a secure connector
