 ## About the esp_modem
 
-Please check the component [README](managed_components/espressif__esp_modem/README.md)
+The esp_modem component is deployed automatically when building this example. It will be located inside this example directory, in relative path `managed_components/espressif__esp_modem`. 
+You can find a brief introduction in the root directory of the component, in the main `README.md` for  or a full html documentation in the relative path `docs/html/index.html`.
 
-Or refer to the component's [documentation](managed_components/espressif__esp_modem/docs/html/index.html)
+## How to use example
+
+### Hardware Required
+
+To run this example, you need an ESP32 dev board connected to a GSM/4G cellular module, which supports AT commands and PPP connectivity.
+The example uses UART to communicate with the modem and it uses the below pin assignment:
+
+| ESP32  | Cellular Modem |
+| ------ | -------------- |
+| GPIO25 | RX             |
+| GPIO26 | TX             |
+| GND    | GND            |
+
+### Configure the project
+
+* Choose the modem module in `Choose supported modem device(DCE)` option.
+* Set the access point name in `Set Access Point Name(APN)` option, which should depend on the operator of your SIM card.
+* Enable `EXAMPLE_NEED_SIM_PIN`: To unlock the SIM card with a PIN code if needed
+
+## Example Output
+
+The example will unlock the SIM card (if enabled) and enter the CMUX mode. 
+Then it would initiate the connection to a public MQTT broker and at the same time reading some data using AT commands.
