GNSS Module for Raspberry Pi Pico (SIM7080G)

The Pico-SIM7080G-Cat-M/NB-IoT is a NB-IoT (NarrowBand-Internet of Things), Cat-M (aka eMTC, enhanced Machine Type Communication), and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module designed for Raspberry Pi Pico. It supports multiple NB-IoT frequency bands, and can be controlled via serial AT commands. This module supports communication protocols like HTTP/MQTT/LWM2M/COAP, etc. With features like low delay, low power, low cost, and wide range of coverage, it’s the ideal choice for IoT applications such as intelligent instruments, asset tracking, remote monitoring , E-health, mobile POS terminals, sharing bikes and so on.

GSM and GPS antennas included in the package.

Online development resources are available, which include wiring guidance and example code, with additional information being found on the Waveshare Wiki.
