GM862 Disable GSM radio

GPS/GNSS Development Boards

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to disable the GSM radio on the GM862 ? I’ve found a way to disable the GPS, but don’t know how to disable the GSM, or even keep it disabled after a power cycle.

I wanna keep power consumption down as much as possible, and only want to turn on the GSM radio when I need to.

Any help would be appreciated…

Thanks,

Raul

Take a look at the AT+CFUN command, it should do what you’re looking for.

In my last project we needed a deep sleep mode (but with some custom functionality/wake up behavior) so we used a small Atmel chip for that logic and shut down the Telit module completely.

Oh nice I’ll look into it. I got this thing in a deep sleep mode right now and it gets turned on by the onboard timer and executes a python script that takes a point and sends an SMS if it needs to and then it sets the new timer and goes to sleep. But if I can only turn on the GSM radio when needed it would save a lot of power.

Thanks again!
