IOT-GA6 GPRS GSM Module

IOT-GA6GPRS GSM Module is an ideal IoT solution for automotive, industrial, personal tracking, power environment, wireless POS, smart metering and other projects with ultra-small size.The control pins are strobe, clock, and data. The strobe and clock pins are only output while the data pin can be both output and input. The strobe pin is used when sending data to the board – you set the strobe pin to low before you start sending data – one or more bytes – and then set the strobe pin back to high.

Note that there is just one data pin which means the data is being sent 1 bit at a time. This is where the clock pin comes into play. When sending data you set the clock pin to low then you set the data pin and set the clock pin back to high to commit the bit value. This chip supports GSM/GPRS network, available for GPRS and SMS message data remote transmission.With the help of the A6 chip, GPRS is never deactivated until its application is on and online. It supports either digital and analog audio, with HR, FR, EFR, and AMR voice coding.

This module can add voice, text, SMS, and data capabilities to your Arduino project. It has more price-to-performance value than the SIM800 and SIM900 modules. This small and low power consumption module can communicate with the microcontrollers and Arduino boards through the UART interface, with the capability of command reception, including GSM 07.07, and GSM 07.05 standards. It can be used for IoT projects, M2M applications, industrial automation, BMS projects, home automation, public transportation, personal tracking, electricity environment detection, wireless POS, smart metering, and other M2M applications
