Describe the solution you'd like
Dear contributors of GSM_Generic Repository. Thanks for your effort on creating and maintaining it. May I ask for an extension to support SIMCom LTE Module SIM7600E?
Many thanks in advance.

Sorry. I currently don't have any SIM7600xy to test and won't add the support to that SIMCom LTE Module SIM7600E anytime in the near future.

Try to use the TinyGSM Library which is supporting that SIM7600xy modules.

Hello @khoih-prog,
thanks for your fast reply. Sadly TinyGSM Library does not support SSL for SIMCom LTE Module SIM7600E .

• Do you know a library which is supporting this?
• Is there a chance that you would extend this library with SSL for SIMCom LTE Module SIM7600E if you would have an SIM7660E module?

TinyGSM is the best library to use. I don't know why SSL is not supported yet. You can open an enhancement request there to know why or if SSL is actually supported by SIM7600xy design. I haven't done any research on SIM7600xy to know yet.

Do you know a library which is supporting this?

No. TinyGSM is the only and best one out there.

Is there a chance that you would extend this library with SSL for SIMCom LTE Module SIM7600E if you would have an SIM7600E module?

It's possible with SIM7600A, but I can't be 100% sure about it until spending some time to code and test. Actually SIM7600A has to be used here in Canada / North America. AFAIK, SIM7600E is designed for Thailand/Korea, and some countries in Asia. I'm not sure if SIM7600E is compatible here in Canada.

Another option is that you can also modify the TinyGSM / GSM_Generic code and add SSL support and test there yourself.
