Overview
GPRS module is a breakout board and minimum system of SIM900 Quad-band/SIM900A Dual-band GSM/GPRS module. It can communicate with controllers via AT commands (GSM 07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands). This module supports software power on and reset.
Features
- Quad-Band 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900 MHz
- Dual-Band 900/ 1900 MHz
- GPRS multi-slot class 10/8GPRS mobile station class B
- Compliant to GSM phase 2/2+Class 4 (2 W @850/ 900 MHz)
- Class 1 (1 W @ 1800/1900MHz)
- Control via AT commands (GSM 07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands)
- Low power consumption: 1.5mA(sleep mode)
- Operation temperature: -40°C to +85 °C

Installation
Power on GPRS module
User can power on the GPRS module by pulling down the PWR button or the P pin of control interface for at least 1 second and release. This pin is already pulled up to 3V in the module internal, so external pull up is not necessary. When power on procedure is completed, GPRS module will send following URC to indicate that the module is ready to operate at fixed baud rate.

Note
In some countries where dual band exists, we recommend to use SIM900A to reduce costs.For the country list, please click here.
