• GSM/GNSS click combines GPS/GLONASS location tracking with GSM module capability for mobile communication. The click features Quectel’s AN, RST, PWM, INT.
• When connected to a GPS antenna, it can receive GPS coordinates, time, and other information from orbiting satellites. The click can be used for all GSM functions — calls, messages (SMS, MMS), mobile internet.
• GSM/GNSS click has an onboard MicroSD card socket, micro SIM card socket, a Bluetooth antenna (the MC60 module supports Bluetooth 3.0) and additional pins for connecting speakers and a microphone.
• Quectel’s MC60 quad-band module
• MC60 is a quad-band full-featured GSM/GPRS module using LCC castellation package. With an extensive set of internet protocols (TCP, UDP, PPP, FTP, HTTP and SSL*), it has integrated GNSS technology for satellite navigation.
• The module can balance between positioning accuracy and power consumption according to the environmental and motion conditions. The typical power consumption is around 2.8mA.
• Positioning — EASY™ technology
• EASY™ is the abbreviation of Embedded Assist System for quick positioning. With EASY™ technology, MC60’s GNSS engine can automatically calculate and predict orbits using the ephemeris data (up to 3 days) when the power is on, and then save that information into the memory.
• The GNSS engine can use this information for later positioning, if there is not enough information from the satellites.
• GPS and GLONASS
• GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, an umbrella term that describes both the United States GPS and the Russian GLONASS global positioning systems. GLONASS is an acronym for Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (Global Navigation Satellite System).
• GPS currently has 33 satellites in orbit, and GLONASS has 24. This two-constellation system is particularly suitable for urban areas with high-rise buildings and complex environments.
• GLONASS is suited for usage in high latitudes (north or south), where getting a GPS signal can be difficult.

• 3G click (for Europe and Australia) is a mikroBUS™ add-on board with Quectel’s UG95 3G UMTS/HSPA module. The board has a rich set of components to simplify development: an SMA connector, earphone/microphone jack, MicroUSB port, as well as a SIM card slot. The UG95 module specifies data rates of up to 7.2Mbps (HSPA), and 384Kbps (UMTS). The network protocol stack includes support for TCP, UDP, PPP, MMS, FTP, SMTP, SMTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, PING, and SSL. This version operates on European frequency bands (900/2100@UMTS, 900/1800@GSM). An American version of the same board is available separately. 3G click communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS™ UART interface (RX, TX), with additional functionality provided by STAT, PWRKEY, RTS, R1, and CTS pins. The board is designed to use 3.3V and 5V power supply. Note: Antenna sold separately.

GSM2 click

• GSM2 click is the simplest way to add GSM/GPRS communication layer to your project, for fast transmission of data, voice, and SMS. It features the Quectel quad-band M95 FA GSM/GPRS module that has an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, serial multiplexer and enhanced AT commands. The board contains a quadrupole audio/microphone jack, an SMA antenna connector, as well as a SIM card socket.

• GSM2 click is designed to run on both 3.3V and 5V power supply and communicates with the MCU over UART and the following pins on the mikroBUS™ line: INT, PWM, CS, RST and AN.

Note: the antenna is sold separately.

Quad-band frequencies
• The M95 FA supports quad-band frequencies — GSM850MHz, GSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz or PCS1900MHz. The module can search these frequency bands automatically.

GPRS data transfer
• The GPRS data uplink and downlink transfer is 85.6 kbps, which is high enough for multimedia messaging.

Power consumption
• The power consumption of the M95 FA is really low — 1.3 mA in sleep mode.

• For more information about the power consumption, see the module’s datasheet.

SMD jumper
• There is one zero-ohm SMD jumper J1 used to select whether 3.3V (default) or 5V I/O voltage level is used. Note that, regardless of the logic level, the module requires a 5V power supply in both cases.

Key features
• M95 FA from Quectel
• Quad-band frequency
• 85.6 kbps GPRS data transfer
• Power consumption: 1.3 mA in sleep mode
• On-board SMA connector
• SIM card socket integrated at the bottom side of the board
• 3.5mm quadrupole earphone/microphone jack
• UART interface
• Both 3.3V and 5V power supply
