An Arduino is equipped with a piezo sensor to detect impact, and a GSM shield takes care of the texting. It’s an interesting concept, similar to requiring police officers to wear body cameras.

If you've mastered the art of Arduino, but haven't yet been brave enough to toss in a bit of GSM communication, the how-to guides linked below definitely deserve your attention.

Arduino devices have had the option of a GSM linkup for awhile, but getting that cellular link to truly strut its stuff hasn't always been easy, even for those of us who'd be inclined to program ...

Adafruit has this week made available the Arduino FONA 800 that has been designed to provide Arduino development boards with the ability to enable Arduino cellular GSM via both voice and data. The ...

The GSM Shield also includes a Telefonica SIM card that includes a worldwide data tariff which can be used anywhere there is a cellular signal.

This will allow the development platform to connect to the internet via GSM mobile phone networks. The module, or shield, was developed in conjunction with Telefónica’s Physical Internet Laboratory ...

Arduino has two new boards out which deliver connectivity - the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 (LoRa) and the Arduino MKR GSM 1400.
