Bidirectional SMS
UCME-OPC™ allows two-way SMS between recipients (such as technicians, field engineers or managers) and the control system. Recipients receive alarm notifications yet can also change set-points, acknowledge alarms, execute programs and scripts, and a range of other actions – directly from their cell phone.
Escalation using SMS and a cellular modem
UCME-OPC™’s sophisticated escalation procedure is a customizable alarm delivery feature that sends alarms to alternative recipients. When a recipient acknowledges the alarm, further, unnecessary repeat alarm notifications are prevented – reducing nuisance alarms and reducing costs. Alarms can be configured so that they are sent with a time delay between each SMS. Once and alarm is acknowledged or ended, the escalation may be stopped. If no acknowledgment is received, UCME will continue with the escalation reaching higher recipient levels.
Fallback SMS channel
If UCME-OPC™ fails to send a text message (SMS) via one channel (for example: a faulty GSM cellular modem), it will automatically switch to a fallback channel (for example: a CDMA cellular modem). This functionality reduces the chances that a text message will not be sent and as a result, increases the system reliability.
Native SMS via cellular modems – eliminating Internet threats
Unlike other software packages that require continuous Internet connection to send email-to-cellular messages, UCME-OPC™ uses native text messaging via cellular modems, which means your control system is completely protected from Internet security threats.
Sending production reports to your cell phone via SMS
Using the UCME-OPC™ Alarm Snapshot functionality, you may receive production reports to your cell-phone via SMS.
Sending SMS messages over the Internet using SMS gateways
UCME-OPC™ allows sending SMS over the Internet using SMS gateways. All you need is to contact an SMS Gateway service provider that will provide you the access to its SMS gateway service.
UCME-OPC™ allows sending SMS using your local language.
Using a GSM modem, or an Android phone as a modem, is a quick and efficient way to get started with SMS and/or MMS applications. No special service provider subscriptions are required, just a standard SIM card that has been activated for use with a mobile operator.
NowSMS Lite is designed to send and receive SMS and MMS messages using a GSM (GRPS/EDGE/3G/LTE) modem, or an Android phone acting as a modem.
End users can send and receive SMS and MMS messages via a web interface or their regular e-mail client.
Applications can send and receive SMS and MMS messages using standard protocols such as HTTP, SMTP/POP3/IMAP, SMPP or MM7, or using API examples for Java, PHP or command-line interfaces.
Note: NowSMS Lite is our entry level product that supports a single modem / Android phone only. It is not upgradeable to other NowSMS software products. If you are likely to require additional modems in future we would advise purchasing NowSMS Gateway Modem Edition.
A new version is available that supports the ability to use Android phones as GSM modem devices for both sending and receiving SMS and MMS messages.Supporting Android phones as modems is significant for several reasons:
- LTE Support – LTE based Android devices can provide higher speed support for MMS sending and receiving.
- Network Compatibility – Some mobile operators (and modem device manufacturers) assume that modems are used for internet access only and disable SMS and/or MMS support for modems. This is not an issue for Android phones.
- CDMA Support – For years, US based customers have asked us about modems that can support Verizon and Sprint. Android phone support allows us to support those network operators using both CDMA and high speed LTE.
- Broad Device Availability – For customers interested in trying NowSMS, it is far easier to locate or acquire an Android device than a conventional modem.
- MMS Performance – With conventional GSM modems, MMS performance is limited by the mode switching required to switch between data and SMS channels. There are no mode switching delays mixing SMS and MMS traffic on Android devices.
- Reliability – USB connectivity (and driver quality or lack thereof) is a major limitation for systems with multiple conventional GSM modems. For Android phones, the NowSMS server connects to the Android phones over WiFi. Modems can even be located in different physical locations to maximize signal strength. (The NowSMS server communicates over WiFi to a new app running on the Android phone.)

NowSMS Lite allows clients to submit SMS messages to NowSMS for delivery via the GSM modem, using either the HTTP, e-mail or SMPP protocols. NowSMS Lite also provides examples for submitting SMS messages from Java, PHP and a command line interface.
Received SMS messages can be routed to an application program using either HTTP, e-mail, SMPP, or a command-line interface.
NowSMS Lite allows clients to submit MMS messages for delivery via the GSM modem, using either a proprietary HTTP interface that supports both HTTP GET and POST operations, e-mail, or using the MM7 protocol. MM7 is a SOAP/XML based protocol that operates over HTTP POST. Additionally, NowSMS Lite provides examples for submitting MMS messages from Java, PHP and a command line interface.
Received MMS messages can be routed from NowSMS Lite to an application program using either MM7, an HTTP interface optimised for PHP, e-mail, or via a file/directory based interface.
