Low Cost GSM & GPS Module/IC
« on: April 29, 2021, 12:52:39 pm »
Does anyone know what IC or module is used in super low-cost real-time GPS trackers, not the Bluetooth ones, the proper real-time trackers with a SIM card?

I can't seem to to find any solutions that cost less than £/$4-5 even in volume yet you can buy devices such as this for £6:

So yeah what module or IC is likely to be used in such cheap products?

Mediatek MT62xx is relatively common.

Orange Pi 2G-IoT + a cheap GPS + GLONASS + BeiDou GNSS module?

Orange Pi 2G-IoT has GSM and application processor combined into one chip.
