-DESCRIPTION
Cellular + GPS tracking, all in one, for your Arduino? Oh yes! Introducing Adafruit
FONA 808 GSM + GPS Shield, an all-in-one cellular phone module with that lets
you add location-tracking, voice, text, SMS and data to your project, in Arduino
shield format for easy use.
This shield fits right over your Arduino or compatible. At the heart is a powerful
GSM cellular module (we use the latest SIM808) with integrated GPS. This module
can do just about everything
Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz - connect onto any global GSM network
with any 2G SIM (in the USA, T-Mobile is suggested)
Fully-integrated GPS (MT3337 chipsetwith -165 dBm tracking sensitivity) that
can be controlled and query over the same serial port
Make and receive voice calls using a headset or an external 32Ω speaker +
electret microphone
Send and receive SMS messages
Send and receive GPRS data (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.)
PWM/Buzzer vibrational motor control
AT command interface with "auto baud" detection
Here's the GPS specifications:

Sounds delicious, right? So we plated this fine module onto a shield with all the
extras you need to make your next project shine
Onboard LiPoly battery charging circuitry so you can take your project on the
go.Use any 500mAh+ LiPoly or LiIon batteryand recharge via the Arduino when
necessary. Two LEDs let you know when its charging and done. You can then flip
the switch and use the battery to run your circuit!
Standard 4-pole TRRS headphone jack. Use any 'Android' or 'iPhone'-
compatible headset with mic
Breakouts for external 32Ω speaker andelectret micif you don't want to use a
headphone
Level shifting circuitry to make it Arduino-safe
Vibrational motor (buzzer)driver so you can have noiseless notifications
uFL connection forexternal passive GPS&external GSM antenna
Indicator LEDs for power and network connectivity
Any standard 2G SIM slides into a secure connector
On its own, this shield can't do anything. It requires a microcontroller like an
Arduino to drive it! You will also need some required accessories to make FONA
work.These are not included!
•SIM Card!A 2G Mini SIM card is required to do anything on the cellular
network. US AT&T no longer sells 2G SIMs and will shut off their 2G network,
sofor American customers we recommend any T-Mobile or reseller (TING, SIMPLE
mobile, etc) that uses the T-Mobile network.
Lipoly Battery- 500mAh or larger! This500mAhbattery,or this 1200mAhwill
work great.
External GSM Antenna- This slim uFL antenna works great!
External Passive GPS Antenna - This 15mm passive antenna works great!
