    AT commands were invented by Hayes in the 80's. They became the industry standard for sending commands to modems.
  • @TheSlimHim
    Found your channel recently. I don't know much about hardware hacking but love what I've seen so far! Very informative and entertaining.
  • @Ingineerix
    Many of these cell modems have an "application processor" where you can run simple applications without the need for an external microcontroller. I doubt they would populate the GPS that's not connected to anything. It probably feeds the NMEA into a UART on the modem and they have installed a simple application to handle it.
  • @mohammadrezamim272
    Some of Simcom modems have the ability to be programmed. This module can be one of them that you can write your own code on it. Because the board has gps antenna and gps module which is too much extra cust for manufacturer, I believe it is programmed to get GPS data from L76 gps module and send it over network to tracking Server. You can test it using different SIM CARD
  • @kramermccabe8601
    Absolutely love the content. Commenting and upvoting for the algorithm
  • @KyleWood1985
    You have a gift for IOT content! Always entertaining!
  • @josh9761
    introduce me to so many new topics with each video really love the content
  • @kmpnelson
    Absolutely appreciate the consistent content!
  • @juandvalenciano2889
    Very good job on figuring out how it works, interesting that there are simcard providers with these plans. For very very low latency IotT projects it's great.
  • @AlexKiraly
    We don't deserve you, keep up the good work! Awesome content
  • @Roborob12345
    Super interesting video! Thanks for explaining it in such a practical manner
  • @walkman1269
    Oh look I see you in West Tennessee. Love your content.
  • @3bdo3id
    love the content thanks from Egypt
  • @nathanshoults2896
    absolutely love the content, the only criticism is possibly writing a script. regardless, great job
  • @gomberfu
    Fantastic as usual!!!
  • @TAELSDOLL
    thanks jimbo. love ur vids
  • @matejkuka797
    Love your channel and videos :) upVote
  • @pete3897
    AT commands (called AYE TEE commands, not "at" commands) are a historical legacy from the Hayes modem days and have spread to all manner of modem and even non-modem devices over the years
  • @xrafter
    Matt have shown in 1st and 2nd video his abilities to not just understand the hardware but also the software intop of it, and also some OSINT skill. Totally a hacker
  • @d3stinYwOw
    Thing is - you can use GPS external device with such modem, since some of them allow pluggin-in additional 'apps', including interfacing external modules
