GSM Shield for Arduino is a professional expansion board specially designed to be used with Arduino® UNO and other compatible development boards, allowing you to easily carry out GSM-based communication applications. With this shield, you can smoothly perform cellular network operations in your projects such as sending/receiving SMS, making voice calls, answering incoming calls, and transmitting data to the internet over GPRS infrastructure.
Thanks to the high-performance ZTE Welink MG2618V2A-MK-02 GSM module on it, it provides a reliable, uninterrupted, and stable cellular communication experience. It communicates with your development board through the UART (serial communication) interface and can be easily controlled with standard AT commands. It is one of the most ideal solutions for smart education applications, Internet of Things (IoT), remote data monitoring (telemetry), and automation projects.
