Hi,
Today we use a product from MultiTech Systems call MultiModem iSMS to send SMS text messages from our monitoring system to our on call staff. This is a 2G product and we need to replace it soon. I know there are more generic cellular modems that can do texting if you are willing to put in the effort, the product we use currently though has a simple HTTP based API specifically to send SMS. Is anybody out there using something similar that can work on 3G or 4G networks?
we have a Linux box with a 3G device attached via serial port. some local scripts and a lookup table - sends SMS alerts for monitoring to the required people. very basic, very simple. RaspberryPI territory. alan
