Sim 300
Sim 300
This is a plug and play GSM Modem with a simple to interface serial interface. Use it to
send SMS, make and receive calls, and do other GSM operations by controlling it through simple
AT commands from micro controllers and computers. It uses the highly popular SIM300 module
for all its operations. It comes with a standard RS232 interface which can be used to easily
interface the modem to micro controllers and computers.
The modem consists of all the required external circuitry required to start experimenting
with the SIM300 module like the power regulation, external antenna, SIM Holder, etc.
Features
Provides the industry standard serial RS232 interface for easy connection to computers
and other devices
Provides serial TTL interface for easy and direct interface to microcontrollers
Onboard 3V Lithium Battery holder with appropriate circuitry for providing backup for
the modules internal RTC
Can be used for GSM based Voice communications, Data/Fax, SMS,GPRS and TCP/IP
stack
Modules operation mode can be controlled through the PWR Switch connected to the
PWR pin (refer the SIM300 datasheet for more information)
Comes with an onboard wire antenna for better reception. Board provides an option for
adding an external antenna through an SMA connector
The SIM300 allows an adjustable serial baud rate from 1200 to 115200 bps (9600
default)
Modem a low power consumption of 0.25 A during normal operations and around 1 A
during transmission
Note: The modem consumes current of nearly 1A during transmission; please make sure that
your power supply can handle such currents.
