AnyNet 3G-EA Click is a cellular to AWS gateway device, which provides developers with the complete solution for various IoT applications, by using the AWS IoT and Cloud Storage services for the data storage, analyzing and processing. AnyNet click board™ provides a secure connection with the AWS over the air (OTA), by utilizing the Quectel UG95-EA 3G module, offering worldwide UMTS/HSPA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE coverage Eseye ES4623 embedded SIM card, that can work with more than 235 cellular operators from all over the world. An Eseye embedded sim card can work with more than 235 cellular operators from all over the world. The AnyNet 3G click can be used as an AWS IoT button with almost no configuration.
AnyNet 3G click comes supplied with the start-up package - free activation through the AWS, unique ID number of the embedded SIM card and six-month cellular connectivity services of up to 5000 messages to the AWS cloud. With the AnyNet 3G click, users get the unique level of integration with the AWS IoT services.
Note: Before the purchase of AnyNet 3G click, please contact Eseye and check for the coverage and support of embedded SIM cards from your local provider. Opening an AWS account and subscribing to Eseye marketplace is mandatory to work with this click board.
The antenna is sold separately.

The Click board™ comes supplied with the start-up package - free activation through the AWS, unique ID number of the embedded sim card and a six-month cellular connectivity services of up to 5000 messages to the AWS cloud. With the AnyNet 3G click board™, users get the unique level of integration with the AWS IoT services.
After the successful connection to the AWS and successful exchange of the certificates, the serial interface can be used to publish messages on the AWS IoT service console. AWS also provides data analysis and processing, as well as cloud storage capabilities.
The click board™ has the IoT Button feature - a pin routed to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ Setting this pin to a HIGH logic level is considered as IoT Button press. AWS IoT gateway recognizes three types of messages: short press, long press anddouble click.
The AWS IoT Button pin is based on the Amazon Dash Button hardware. The functionality of this pin is designed for developers to get started with AWS IoT, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS, and many other Amazon Web Services.
IoT Button pin can be coded in cloud service to perform various tasks, such as remote control for Netflix, a switch for Philips Hue light bulb, a check-in/check-out device for Airbnb guests and so on. It can also be integrated with the third-party APIs like Twitter, Facebook, Twilio, Slack or even custom applications.
Future firmware updates are provided by the Eseye company over the air. The updates may include additional functionality and improved stability. For any additional technical questions regarding the firmware on this module, contact Eseye technical support.

We provide a library for the AnyNet 3G Click on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library is composed of driver and API layers both available from user space. Lower driver layer carries generic AT command parser, API layer carries simplified user-friendly function calls.
Key functions
api_anynet3g_queryICCID
- Provides ICC ID necessary for registration
api_anynet3g_checkStateAWS
- Returns the current state of the module
api_anynet3g_openTopicAWS
- Opens Topic
Examples descriptions
The example shows how to properly initialize module and use API function calls. All information from the module is logged using UART so two UART modules are necessary for the example. In case that your system has only one UART module, Software UART is also usable for data logging. Also, it is necessary to have an account on Amazon for successful testing.
void applicationTask() { // MODULE INIT anynet3g_cmdSingle( "AT" ); api_anynet3g_firmwareID(); api_anynet3g_queryICCID(); api_anynet3g_checkStateAWS( _ANYNET3G_GET ); // OPEN TOPIC 0 AND PUBLISH api_anynet3g_openTopicAWS( _ANYNET3G_SET, &_MY_TOPIC[0] ); api_anynet3g_publishTopicAWS( _ANYNET3G_SET, &_MIKROE[0] ); }

Additional notes and information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
This click board is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant click board demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
For more information about mikroSDK, visit the official page.
NOTE: Please be advised that any peripheral devices or accessories shown connected to the Click board™ are not included in the package. Check their availability in our shop or in the YMAN section below.
