2 SIM5300E OVERVIEW
Designed for global market, SIM5300E is a dual-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band UMTS/HSPA module
that works on frequency bands EGSM 900MHz, DCS 1800MHz and WCDMA2100/900MHz. SIM5300E
features GPRS multi-slot class 12 and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4.
With a tiny configuration of 24*24*2.4mm, SIM5300E can meet almost all space requirements in user
applications, such as M2M, PDA and other mobile devices.
SIM5300E has 68 pins, which provides all hardware interfaces between module and customers’ boards,
which includes:
Power Supply
UART Interface which can support full modem.
Audio channel which includes a microphone input and a receiver output (only for SIM5300EA).
GPIOs
SPI Interface
I2C Interface
