How to GET location using GSM?
The way the network location feature works is that the GSM device gets the location of the network tower it is connected to. The server in the network towers is programmed to a hard coded location coordinate values which can be retrieved by the GSM module through a GPRS connection.
What is GPS and GSM module?
GPS module gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude. The microcontroller processes this information and sends it to the GSM modem. The GSM modem then sends the information to the owner’s mobile phone.
What is GSM module Arduino?
A GSM Module is basically a GSM Modem (like SIM 900) connected to a PCB with different types of output taken from the board – say TTL Output (for Arduino, 8051 and other microcontrollers) and RS232 Output to interface directly with a PC (personal computer).
Does SIM800 have GPS?
The shield features new generation GlobalTop GPS chipset and SIM800 Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that works on 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900 MHz. With GPS technology the shield supports satellite navigation along with cellular connectivity and that makes most of what you need for your robotics projects.
What is the difference between GPS and GSM and GPRS?
GPS is used for the satellite based navigation systems, mapping as well as GIS etc. Whereas GPRS is used for video calling, Email accessing, multimedia messaging etc….Difference between GPS and GPRS.
