Selection of microncontroller & GSM+ GPSmodule

I am new for this forum.
I need some help to do my final final year project.

I am doing an automatic meter reading system for Electricity meters by GSM network by sending SMS. The important functionalities are;
- sending sms through GSM network
- Have to maintain common timing for all the people

So that i thought to use the GSM module for send SMS and GPS time for the timing requirement. I need to produce a low cost unit ultimately. I selected SIM548C since it has both GSM+GPS module. Is that selection is OK???

If not can you pls suggest a module for this requirement? But i need to be low cost. And also can you please suggest me what microcontrller i can use for this SIM548C?

Please help me. Your help will be very useful to me. thank you in advance.

  • Dear sinthuja,

    Well thats a good idea for a student project.
    I suggest you to go with only GSM module, if are looking to use GPS only for timing purpose.
    You can use AT+CCLK command on GSM modem to get Network time. Off course the restriction may be all meters you use should be on same network provider.

    All the best Cheers..
