I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a fire detection system, and unfortunately, I have encountered a technical hurdle. As such, I am humbly reaching out to seek expert assistance on this matter.
Specifically, I am seeking a module that can enable 4G network connectivity to facilitate the sending and receiving of SMS and calls in the event of a fire detection. While there are numerous modules available in the market, I require one that supports 4G networks, as opposed to the 2G or 3G options commonly available.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations on affordable 4G-enabled modules that are compatible with sim connectivity for cellular data. Additionally, as the module will be used in India, I kindly request that any suggestions be tailored accordingly.
Thank you in advance for your time and support. Have a great day.
If by that you mean, powering the the Arduino via the power jack, and then the modem via the Arduino's 5v pin - then you should not do that. They can draw considerable current (~2A), and will likely overload the regulator on the Arduino. You are better to have a 5v supply that powers both the modem and the micro-controller.
