SIM868E is a compact 2G GSM/GPRS and multi-constellation GNSS module for tracking and telemetry designs requiring Bluetooth support.

Best for

  • Asset tracking devices with 2G coverage
  • GNSS-enabled telemetry terminals
  • Embedded GSM data and Bluetooth applications

Avoid if

  • A 4G, LTE-M, NB-IoT or 5G cellular connection is required
  • The deployment region has no usable 2G service

Check before use

  • Confirm 2G carrier coverage and shutdown plans
  • Design separate GSM, GNSS and Bluetooth antenna paths as required
  • Validate peak-current capability of the 3.4 V to 4.4 V supply
