Product Description
3G Sara Click Overview:
3G SARA click is a versatile cellular network communication solution, featuring the compact 3.75G UMTS/HSPA SARA U-201 modem from u-blox.
Parallax speeds the process of Propeller 2 development through our partnership with MikroE, who has created a family of 850+ Clicks for most I/O functions you may envision. For each of the Click boards stocked by Parallax, you will find a documented Spin 2 code example on our Propeller GitHub Object Exchange. Connect your Click boards to the P2 Eval Board (#64000), and the P2 Edge Module Breadboard (#64020) or P2 Edge Mini Breakout Board (#64019) with a P2 Edge Module (#P2-EC), using the P2 to MikroBus Click Adapter (#64008).
This module includes a full set of options for cellular networking and communication, such as the network indication, full embedded TCP/UDP stack, HTTP and HTTPS transfer protocols, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support, antenna detection, jamming signal detection, and more. 3G SARA click also features the HSPA data-rates of 7.2 Mb/s (downlink) and 5.76 Mb/s (uplink), as well as the ability to maintain the voice call during the data transfer (3G). Onboard 16bit audio CODEC IC adds high-quality voice communication capability.
The SARA U-201 module is fully qualified and certified solution, that simplifies the design and cuts time to market. It is perfectly suited for a wide range of M2M applications, such as mobile Internet terminals, automatic meter reading (AMR), remote monitoring automation and control (RMAC), surveillance and security, road pricing, asset tracking, fleet management, anti-theft systems, point of sales (PoS) terminals, and similar applications which rely on a cellular network connection.

Will this work with Verizon? Can I get an SMA card from Verizon to use with this device?
Hi William- the 3G Sara Click uses the u-blox SARA U-201 cellular network module, compatible with 3.75G UMTS/HSPA cellular networks. It requires a microSim card from your cellular provider. You’d need to ask Verizon if they offer a compatible service- they should understand those specs.

Your local Verizon is clueless about such things. I tried! I thought Parallax may have investigated this since it IS the biggest cellular carrier in the world. Pity…
