An Arduino is equipped with a piezo sensor to detect impact, and a GSM shield takes care of the texting. It’s an interesting concept, similar to requiring police officers to wear body cameras.

Real Time Home Security System using GSM Technology-An Anti-theft System! This project deals with the design & development of a theft control system for home, which is being used to prevent/control ...

This will allow the development platform to connect to the internet via GSM mobile phone networks. The module, or shield, was developed in conjunction with Telefónica’s Physical Internet Laboratory ...

The module is the Walter, by DPTechnics out of Belgium. It’s fully open-source and contains a ESP32-S3 for WiFi and BLE plus a Sequans Monarch chip for GSM and GNSS connectivity.

Arduino has two new boards out which deliver connectivity - the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 (LoRa) and the Arduino MKR GSM 1400.

Arduino devices have had the option of a GSM linkup for awhile, but getting that cellular link to truly strut its stuff hasn't always been easy, even for those of us who'd be inclined to program ...

The GSM Shield also includes a Telefonica SIM card that includes a worldwide data tariff which can be used anywhere there is a cellular signal.

If you've mastered the art of Arduino, but haven't yet been brave enough to toss in a bit of GSM communication, the how-to guides linked below definitely deserve your attention.
