- GSM SIM7070G Arduino NB-IoT / LTE / GNSS / GPRS / GPS Expansion (Global) Shield DFRobot - DFR0572
- Shields
The SIM7070G module includes a large set of built in AT commands and provides detailed software libraries, user manuals, and application documentation. These resources support communication protocols such as HTTP, MQTT, FTP, CoAP, NIDD, and PING, enabling developers to quickly build connected applications without needing deep knowledge of networking protocols. The module has also passed multiple international certifications including CCC, CE, FCC, AT and T, JATE, RoHS, Deutsche Telekom, and others. These certifications ensure reliability and compliance for global deployment. The shield supports both standard SIM cards and NB IoT cards, making it flexible for different cellular IoT networks.

Version Explanation
The SIM7000 series has been upgraded to the SIM7070G which is designed for global compatibility. The SIM7070G supports a wide range of frequency bands and communication technologies including CAT M, NB IoT, GSM, GPRS, and EDGE. Compared with earlier SIM7000 modules, the SIM7070G eliminates the need to search for region specific frequency bands and offers broader compatibility.
This upgrade improves usability and ensures compatibility with international networks. The module also integrates GNSS positioning functions and has passed extensive certifications worldwide, making it suitable for both commercial products and academic research projects.
Features
- Supports global frequency bands for NB IoT networks.
- Supports CAT M cellular communication.
