Leveraging Cellular Communication Technology

Cellular communication technology is popular on mobile phones. It is popular across the world because it is deployed by large businesses that maintain the infrastructure. We will learn how to work with this technology by writing code that sends data, using Simple Messaging Service (SMS) and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), so that we can deploy solutions that communicate using this technology.

In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:

  • Learning about cellular connectivity
  • Choosing cellular radios
  • Making phone calls
  • Working with SMS
  • Working with GPRS

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to send temperature and humidity data using cellular technology.
