Best SIM7000A Dev Board with great support

Only SIM7000 board that I've used that just works. Other boards that I tried had power issues but this one did not due to the included lipo circuitry. I used the thingsmobile CAT-M1 sim card with unlimited data plan (~600 kbs speed) for $10 a month and it worked like a charm. The online support is also great, if you are having any issues check for a solution on the GitHub page.

The best LTE / GPS shield I've ever used with Arduino!

This arduino shield is great! I've tested out the SMS messaging and GPS, and they work great! I've also had great success with downloading web pages through it. I use it with a Hologram.io sim card. The 'A' model does not support 2g or 3g, just LTE.

EASY TO USE..... if you have Hologram Sim card and an Arduino Uno or ESP32

Absolutely the best cellular shield I've ever used. I was literally up and running and sending data via MQTT in 10 minutes. Took a little bit a digging to get to work with ESP32 but now Botletics has github page with ESP32 code as well!! Hint: Instead of using lip battery for power simply use 3.3v power supply connected to VBAT and GND. Dont forget, if you're using it with a 3.3 board (i.e. ESP32) connect 3.3v from controller to the shields 5V pin and GND from your controller to the shields GND pin to enable level logic conversion for 3.3v (otherwise shield will be on 5v logic) Also, it's basic, but make sure all GNDs are connected to each other.

Great module with excellent support!

You won't find another module with better documentation available. Additionally, the seller will promptly answer tech questions if necessary. Will buy again!

Works great!

Used this SIM7000A shield to build an ultra low power portable LTE / GPS asset tracker; case, 2500mAh battery, Moteino controller and a mercury switch for interrupt wake up. Easy to build and code for. The antenna folds up into the top half of the enclosure (not pictured). Added a USB port on the side for recharging the battery when needed.

Great Shield

This is a great shield with unique support. You can utilize it to speed up your project. It will work exactly line by line like the document.

Superb Product in all aspects.

This LTE shield is very well designed and made. I use it with both ESP8266 and ESP32 boards. Got it working very quickly using the documentation provided. The best part of this product is the documentation and email support provided by the maker. Every time I had a question, it was answered quickly and usually solved my problem! Thank you!

LTE-M and 2G in one well crafted package

This shield is absolutely amazing. The designer has done a fantastic job of creating a plug n play shield that is somehow, also very customizable. The latest (V6) revision includes access to the communications lines on the simcomm chip allowing you great flexibility. The software examples and demo sketches (free download) are quick to get going and help you understand what is going on with your connection. I picked up a hologram sim with it and was online in less than 15 minutes. I'm using an Arduino Mega so I clipped the D10/D11 pins off the shield and ran jumpers to use Serial3. Worked first try. Was able to send data and sms through the network using the free example sketches in only a few minutes. Highly recommend! Also, the LTe-M is now working in Canada on the Rogers network with hologram. (At least in the Vancouver area)

Great sheild

This is a well made shield with some handy features. It's very simple to connect to an MCU and get up and running quickly.

Great product, Great support

Great product, I had some trouble getting going with the development but the support was 10/10, very good support indeed, so good I brought 2 more :)
