Is a GSM module a microcontroller?

The circuit of interfacing GSM to AT89C51 microcontroller mainly consists of GSM modem and 8051 family microcontroller. GSM has RS232 interface for serial communication. In between the GSM module and the microcontroller MAX232 IC is connected. The R1IN pin of the IC is connected to the receiver pin of the GSM modem.

Does GPS use GSM?

A GPS tracker is a device that tracks and records the movements of something or someone, using the Global Positioning System (GPS). In most cases, location data from the GPS tracker goes to an internet-connected device via cellular network (GSM/LTE), radio, or satellite modem.

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).

What is GSM Arduino?

GSM is an international standard for mobile telephones. It is an acronym that stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. Among other things, GSM supports outgoing and incoming voice calls, Simple Message System (SMS or text messaging), and data communication (via GPRS). The Arduino GSM shield is a a GSM modem.

What is a GSM module?

A GSM modem or GSM module is a hardware device that uses GSM mobile telephone technology to provide a data link to a remote network. From the view of the mobile phone network, they are essentially identical to an ordinary mobile phone, including the need for a SIM to identify themselves to the network.

Why GSM module is used?

A customised Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) module is designed for wireless radiation monitoring through Short Messaging Service (SMS). This module is able to receive serial data from radiation monitoring devices such as survey meter or area monitor and transmit the data as text SMS to a host server.
