provider’s SIM to communicate over the telecommunication n network. This modem

can be used to send and receive text messages and to make and receive voice calls.

• GSM SIM 800 is a quad-band GSM modem that functions at 850, 800, 1800 and 1800

MHz frequencies. This modem also supports features like transferring voice data,

integrated support for GPRS and TCP/IP stack.

Gsm
• This is a GSM/GPRS-compatible Quad-band cell phone, which works on a
frequency of 850/800/1800/1800MHz and which can be used not only to
access the Internet, but also for oral communication (provided that it is
connected to a microphone and a small loud speaker) and for SMSs.

• Externally, it looks like a big package (0.94 inches x 0.94

inches x 0.12 inches) with L-shaped contacts on four sides so that they can be
soldered both on the side and at the bottom.
Ibeacon

• iBeacon is a protocol developed by Apple and introduced at the Apple

Worldwide Developers Conference in 2013.

• Various vendors have since made iBeacon-compatible hardware transmitters –

typically called beacons – a class of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) devices that
broadcast their identifier to nearby portable electronic devices.

• The technology enables smartphones, tablets and other devices to perform

actions when in close proximity to an iBeacon.
