GSM Projects for Engineering Students

GSM or Global System for Mobile Communications projects are based on one of the emerging technology of the century. It deals with the design of a stand-alone embedded system that can monitor and control several devices remotely irrespective of distance limitations. Generally sending and receiving SMS is the concept followed in embedded domain. The system has two parts, namely; hardware and software. The hardware architecture consists of a stand-alone embedded system using an 8-bit microcontroller, several types of interface, and driver circuits. The system software driver is developed using an interactive C programming language. Here we are providing the list of various GSM projects for final year electronics students. These GSM projects are more helpful for ECE and EEE students in completing their engineering successfully.
