There might be a product idea here, if no-one's done it already: Something like a RaspBerry Pi, running off a lithium battery, with a recharge circuit and something to detect a power outage. Add a 3G/4G card to send an SMS alert, put it all in a box, plug it into power. Only configuration needed is setting the SMS target(s)... If you made it network addressable (on 3G/4G) it could send emails as well.
Almost exactly my scenario. While you're at it, add IP/serial links to console servers and tunnel in. I've got this as the only OOB option for sites with no copper. Low bandwidth 3G plan. -- Jeremy Austin Whitestone Power & Communications (907) 895-2311 (907) 803-5422 jhaustin@gmail.com
