Newbie - SMS question

I am completely new to wireless however the company I work for, that makes industrial test equipment, is looking for a simply solution to send an SMS text message to test engineers while they are away from their equipment.

The test equipment is sold anywhere in the world.

Does anyone have any idea where to begin? I am looking at a simply UART based interface solution with a microcontroller.

Am I in the right place to have this answered?

Yes of courseā€¦ you are in the right place :slight_smile:

based on the requirement you can use different products sold by Sierra Wireless.
have a look at http://source.sierrawireless.com/

for basic SMS functions, you can go for HL modulesā€¦ if you want to create and run your own application on module, then you can refer SL8 or MC cards :slight_smile:
