  Module VBAT range is from 2.1V to 3.6V, typical is 3.3V recommended. 
  Module GPIO pins are at 1.8V logical level. Cannot be connected to external 3.0V or higher 
level signals directly. 
  SIM7020C and SIM7020E module support CAT-NB1,  SIM7020G module supports 
CAT-NB1/C AT-NB2 (3GPP Release 14).
