Hello.


I am currently doing a project that needs to send SMS messages to inform a central about posible fire outbreaks. Since this is not my area of expertise, I wanted to ask for your help.

I am considering a GSM device such as WISMO228 or SL6087 form Sierra Wireless. I have the following doubts:

1.) If I only need to send the SMS messages with AT commands, do I need to buy the expensive development Kit (+$1000 dollars), or is the module ready to perform once connected? If not, was it the development kit for?

2.) Is it possible with a GSM module to put a text file on an FTP?

Thanks you very much for your attention!
 

No, i think you should have modem with rs232 support and a controller which is programmed to communicate with modem using AT commands. you can put files to ftp server using gprs facility. you could go for simcom 300 modules or wavecom modems which has good support......
