Adafruit FONA 800 for upload of pictures

Hi All,

I am building a remote weather station for an airfield. The project has a few sensors, such as wind speed and direction, and also a small camera (Adafruit Weatherproof TTL Serial). I am looking at a way to get the pictures uploaded to an internet based web-server. The airfield is off-grid, and as such the unit is being powered by a solar charger with a 12V battery. I was planning to use a GPRS/3G chip for data connection and came across the Adafruit FONA 800.

Would this unit be suitable for uploading a picture via HTTP or FTP? The unit will probably only take a picture every 15 minutes throughout the day so as long as it could upload them in that time the bandwidth should not be an issue. The pictures are fairly small (perhaps 50KB).

Any advice before purchase would be good.

Thanks, Tim
