Announcing SIM7500 Shield for Arduino!

Hey everyone, I'm pleased to reveal my latest project, the SIM7500 LTE CAT-1 cellular shield for Arduino! It's great for giving a project phone capabilities including voice calls, SMS, LTE data, and GPS tracking! It also comes with a temperature sensor for debugging and other useful applications and is a useful alternative to the SIM7000 LTE CAT-M/NB-IoT shield in cases where only traditional LTE is available. The module also has 3G fallback (and 2.5G/2G depending on the version) so it should work pretty much anywhere!

I'm currently in the process of testing and fully documenting the shield and you can find the latest documentation on Github. 

When everything's tested I'll have it for sale here on my website.

Looking forward to more awesome projects this year!

SIM7000 Shield Live on Indiegogo!

What's up guys!

It's midnight here and I just launched the Indiegogo campaign for my shield. Check it out here and be sure to share the link on social media because every view counts for me! Contributions are also greatly appreciated and will help me continue my efforts. I plan on fulfilling all orders regardless of how much I raise and I have everything ready to go with a contract manufacturer in the US.

Anyway, thanks for your support and I hope this will positively benefit the community!

Announcing SIM7000 LTE/NB-IoT Shield on Indiegogo!

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that I will be launching the Indiegogo campaign for the SIM7000 LTE/NB-IoT shield on 1 February 2018 so mark your calendars! You can check out the pre-campaign page here and be sure to share it with your friends!

Early-bird orders will ship out immediately but I will have limited supplies on a first-come-first-served basis. The price for any version of the shield will be $99 (USD).

Looking forward to the new year and stay warm!

NB-IoT Shield for Arduino Underway!

I'm currently in the process of developing a completely open-source LTE CAT-M/NB-IoT shield for Arduino and putting together a comprehensive wiki on how to get started! The shield can be painlessly adapted to NB-IoT for many other countries and is one of the first NB-IoT Arduino shields to ever be released (if not the first *open-source* one) so don't miss out!
