SIM7500 LTE Shield Save

Overview

This shield uses SIMCOM's SIM7500-series 4G LTE CAT-1 module with integrated GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo) for location tracking. The shield can be used in different regions around the world by choosing the appropriate module version, such as the SIM7500A (Americas), SIM7500E (Europe), or SIM7500G (Global) as detailed in the Github wiki. The shield also includes a high-accuracy I2C temperature sensor for IoT monitoring applications. To use the shield, simply follow the step-by-step wiki to attach the headers, plug the shield into an Arduino, insert a compatible SIM card (like a Hologram SIM card), attach the dual LTE diversity/GPS antenna, power it via micro USB, and you're ready to load the example code!
