This SMS Lite was purchased in early 2014 and is the first generation of the product.
Our customer has been using it consistently since then and it has proven to be reliable and worked well. We are truly delighted that our engineering design and robustness of the product has delivered a life span of 10 years.
Deployed in a harsh real-world installation, it managed to outlive the 3G cellular network it was connected to.
The SMS Lite was used to monitor four signals in the electrical switchboard and it sends text message alerts when faults occur.
However, with the 3G networks closing (or already closed), our customer needs to upgrade to the 4G SMS Lite.
The SMS Lite continues to be developed and enhanced by our partner QTech in New Zealand.
The current generation 4G SMS Lite has many more features than the original version.
In August 2024 firmware version 4.10 was released which includes:
- Field Upgradable firmware via USB
- Support for more phone numbers
- Configurable escalation times
- Notification only mode – no need to reply or acknowledge
- Broadcast mode – send alerts to multiple phones
- Uses QTech Workbench software for advanced configuration options
- On-line troubleshooting guide via QR code
- Automatic power supply monitoring with return to normal messages etc
