SIM508/SIM548

SIM508/548 module is a Tri-Band/Quad-Band GSM/GPRS-enabled module that is also equipped with AGPS technology. The compact design of the SIM508/548 makes it easy to integrate GSM/GPRS & GPS as an all-in-one solution. You will save significantly both time and cost for the integration of additional hardware components.

The combination of both technologies can fit almost all the space requirement in your applications, such as PDA phone, GPS hand-held device and other mobile device, it allows vehicles and people to be tracked seamlessly at any location and anytime.
