Description
The SIM7070G Arduino expansion shield delivers versatile multi-band cellular connectivity and GNSS satellite positioning in an easy-to-use Arduino form factor. Supporting NB-IoT, LTE Cat-M, GSM, GPRS, and EDGE, it provides an ultra-low-power communication bridge for students, makers, and engineers. It is ideally suited for smart logistics, environmental monitoring, remote control, and asset tracking projects.
Global cellular band support
The board features worldwide multi-band compatibility across NB-IoT, LTE-M, GSM, GPRS, and EDGE networks. Upgraded from earlier module generations, it provides seamless global coverage without the need to select region-specific boards for deployment.
Multi-constellation GNSS positioning
Integrated satellite positioning supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations using the standard NMEA protocol. This enables precise real-time location tracking for asset management, navigation, and geofencing applications.
Built-in network protocol libraries
The module includes a comprehensive AT command set alongside Arduino libraries supporting protocols such as MQTT, HTTP, FTP, CoAP, NIDD, and PING. This abstraction handles low-level networking directly on the modem to speed up firmware development.
Power requirements and SIM compatibility
The shield operates at 5V with an input voltage range of 7V to 12V DC, requiring an external power supply to manage peak current spikes during network transmission. The on-board SIM slot exclusively supports 1.8V SIM cards and is not compatible with 3V cards.
Certified hardware and included antennas
The SIM7070G is certified for use across international standards including CE, FCC, RoHS, CCC, and carrier networks such as AT&T and Deutsche Telekom. Each board comes equipped with both a GSM spring antenna and an internal GPS antenna via IPEX1 interfaces.
