## Description

#### Introduction

 NB-IoT (Narrow Band-Internet of Things) technology is a new IoT technical branch and supports cellular data network connection of [low power consumption](https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=low%20power%20consumption&description=true) device in WAN (Wide Area Network), which also called as LPWAN. NB-IoT operates in authorized frequency spectrum. It can be directly deployed to [GSM](https://www.dfrobot.com/search-GSM.html), UMTS, LTE without any interference of current networks, while the bandwidth consumption is just about 180KHz.

 This SIM7000E Arduino NB-IoT/LTE/GPRS expansion shield is a wireless communication module produced by DFRobot and the design is based on SIMCom SIM7000E. This wireless communication module is designed for [Arduino controllers](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-185.html), supporting multi-frequency LTE-FDD communication, dual-frequency GPRS/EDGE communication, NB-IoT communication. No matter prototype developments or small-batch productions, SIM7000C Arduino NB-IoT/LTE/GPRS expansion shield is the best solution to applications of low power consumption, low latency and meddle-throughput. Besides onboard GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), SIM7000E supports American GPS, Russian GLONASS, European Galileo, Japanese QZSS and Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. It can be widely applied to [IoT applications](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-projects.html?search=IoT) such as long-distance control, moving tracking, long distance data uploading and shared bikes.

SIM7000 Arduino NB-IoT/LTE/GPRS/GPS Expansion Shield
The SIM7000E Arduino NB-IoT/LTE/GPRS expansion shield supports both SIM card and NB-IoT card synchronously. You can plug in a common SIM card to achieve traditional GSM applications, such as make a phone call and send message. You can also plug in a NB-IoT card to realize NB-IoT data transmission. Besides, this expansion shield provides a BME280 environmental sensor. So it could be a prototype to develop NB-IoT projects, monitoring temperature, humidity and pressure. 

 **NOTE:** 
SIM7000E is common used with European frequency band；SIM7000C is common used with Chinese frequency band, please carefully check your Mobile Operator statement, and select the corresponding products. #### FEATURES
