"As Faisal says, the old Moto 168is are a lot cheaper than a new Telit module. There are a couple of people with projects using them. For…"
alex B replied to Rob Jackson's discussion GSM Cellular phone as telemetry modem"im playing with the telit module right now. Seems easier as they provide superb technical documentation for all their modules. And the antenna is not a big problem, you can just use a small pcb-antenna if you like. And you can run it from lipos…"
Faisal Shah replied to Rob Jackson's discussion GSM Cellular phone as telemetry modem"Because they are expensive, and you still have to add an antennae, battery holder, etc ...

- Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
- UAVs are a natural evolution from regular RC and FPV RC.
Firstly, UAVs combine the natural evolution of several technologies and disciplines: digital radio, GPS, RC Craft (engineering), AI pathfinding, advanced electronics, &c...
Secondly, UAVs can serve a useful purpose to the private sector and to individuals/domestic sector. Observational security, search and rescue, meteorologic duties; as well as the advancement of new technologies. Mostly everything else is autonomous in our lives, so why not RC vehicles?
Thirdly, the technology to do automation of this scale has existed for many years, but it hasn't been until the last two decades where it has reached the point where one can do it reasonably affordably, beating out the commercial solutions to automated and autonomous flight in terms of price.
