== Introduction ==

The SIM900 GSM/GPRS Shield provides you a way to use the GSM cell phone network to receive data from a remote location. The shield allows you to achieve this via any of the three methods: 
* Short Message Service
* Audio
* GPRS Service
The GPRS Shield is compatible with all boards which have the same form factor (and pinout) as a standard Arduino Board. The GPRS Shield is configured and controlled via its UART using simple AT commands. Based on the SIM900 module from SIMCOM, the GPRS Shield is like a cell phone. Besides the communications features, the GPRS Shield has 12 GPIOs, 2 PWMs and an ADC.

== Features ==
*Based on [http://wm.sim.com SIMCom]'s SIM900 Module
*Quad-Band 850 / 900/ 1800 / 1900 MHz - would work on GSM networks in all countries across the world.
*Control via AT commands - Standard Commands: GSM 07.07 & 07.05 | Enhanced Commands: SIMCOM AT Commands.
*Short Message Service - so that you can send small amounts of data over the network (ASCII or raw hexadecimal).
*Embedded TCP/UDP stack - allows you to upload data to a web server.
*Speaker and Headphone jacks - so that you can send DTMF signals or play recording like an answering machine.
*SIM Card holder and GSM Antenna - present onboard.
*12 GPIOs, 2 PWMs and an ADC (all 2.8 volt logic) - to augment your Arduino.
*Low power consumption - 1.5mA(sleep mode)
*Industrial Temperature Range - -40°C to +85 °C

== Application Ideas ==

*M2M (Machine 2 Machine) Applicatoions - To transfer control data using SMS or GPRS between two machines located at two different factories.
*Remote control of appliances - Send SMS while you are at your office to turn on or off your washing machine at home.
*Remote Weather station or a Wireless Sensor Network - Mate it with [[Seeeduino Stalker v2.0|Seeeduino Stalker]] and create a sensor node capable of transferring sensor data (like from a weather station - temperature, humidity etc.) to a web server (like [http://www.pachube.com pachube.com]).
*Interactive Voice Response System - Couple the GPRS Shield with an MP3 Decoder and DTMF Decoder (besides an Arduino) to create an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_voice_response Interactive Vocice Response System (IVRS)].
*Vehicle Tracking System - Couple the GPRS Shield with an Arduino and GPS module and install it in your car and publish your location live on the internet. Can be used as a automotive burglar alarm.

== Cautions ==
* Make sure your SIM card is unlocked.
* The product is provided as is without an insulating enclosure. Please observe ESD precautions specially in dry (low humidity) weather.
* The factory default setting for the GPRS Shield UART is 19200 bps 8-N-1. (Can be changed using AT commands).
