<b>Description:</b><br> The GM862 is a GSM cellular module that enables you to connect to the cellular network using simple 'AT' commands.
 
 
 
Yes it's as easy as sending:
 
 
 
<tt>ATD 3035551234;</tt>
 
 
 
Couple down sides to this module:<br>
 
1) The GM862 uses a very specialized 50-pin molex connector that only comes in SMD.<br>
 
2) The GM862 requires 3.8V at 1.9A peak. So you'll need to use the LT1528 as well.
 
 
 
Cool module. Works anywhere with GSM connectivity (North America and Europe included).
