SIM presence detection

This interface allows the user to communicate with the smart (SIM) card in the user
application. The GS64 offers alternative arrangements for accessing the SIM
depending on which variant of the GS64 is used. Both variants provide this interface
through the system connector, referred to as the

external

or

remote

SIM interface to

distinguish it from the integrated SIM interface.

The maximum distance between the SIM card holder and the wireless modem is
70cm. SIM holders placed further than this distance may not meet the SIM interface
performance specification.

This SIM interface allows the use of 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards. The module does not
support 5V SIM cards. The wireless modem automatically detects the SIM type,
switching the signal voltages accordingly. SIM voltage levels, as shown in the
following table, are dependent on the type of SIM card detected by the wireless
modem.
