+# Modem Simulator Component
+
+A Wi-Fi modem simulator that extends ESP-AT with PPP server capabilities, turning ESP32 into a fully functional Wi-Fi modem. Perfect for testing AT commands and PPP connections without real hardware dependencies.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Extends ESP-AT firmware with PPP server functionality
+- Provides DATA mode for raw IP communication
+- Enables existing communication stacks (MQTT, HTTP, custom protocols) to work over Wi-Fi
+- Ideal for testing ESP-Modem library and CI reliability
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd common_components/modem_sim
+./install.sh
+source export.sh
+idf.py build
+```
+
+## Custom Platform/Module
+
+```bash
+./install.sh PLATFORM_ESP32S3 WROOM-32
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `sdkconfig.defaults` includes:
+- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled
+- PPP server support
+- AT commands for HTTP/MQTT
+- 4MB flash configuration
+
