LoNet 808 - Mini GSM/GPRS + GPS Breakout

This board based on the latest SIMCOM SIM808 GSM/GPS module, it offers cellular GSM and GPRS data along with GPS technology for satellite navigation. 

The board features ultra-low power consumption in sleep mode, giving the project incredibly long standby times. Furthermore there's an on-board battery charging circuit that can be used with LiPo batteries.

The GPS receiver is incredibly sensitive with 22 tracking and 66 acquisition channels, and also supports assisted-GPS (A-GPS) for indoor localisation. 

The board is controlled by AT command via UART and supports 3.3V and 5V logical level. It comes with a mini GPS and GSM antenna, however a battery is optional. The board uses the 2G (not 3G or LTE) GSM networks.
