I hope it inspires someone to build a better model, smaller and with a
better battery life.
Interesting. BTW, i would recommends to use any recent 3G modem instead
of Arduino gsm shield. Some pros and cons:
1. Cheaper (you can find one for something like 5-15USD on local auctions)
2. Supports recent data (HDSPA+, etc.) connectivity as well as SMS and
Voice
3. Voice functionality already integrated with Asterisk (chan_dongle),
so easy to integrate with any VoIP software and hardware
4. Can be unplugged any time and used as 3G dongle if needed :)
I am using this configuration (raspberry + chan_dongle + modem) as
outgoing gateway to the mobile network. If i need this dongle as backup
ISP connection i am just unplugging it and all traffic goes via backup
SIP link :)
