Dear All,
Can anyone help to build low cost SMS Infrastructure using PI Notification? I have gone through different options and found solutions are available from OSISoft Partners but those are costly. I believe OSISoft have already provided stable and scalable platform in the shape of PI Notification so buy utilizing the Power of PI Notification and mixing different technologies, anyone can build low cost infrastructure.
I have dig out further and found that below mentioned URL could be the starting point. The only downside of this solution is dependency on SMTP Server and if that goes down or link is broken, users will be impacted. Is there any possibility within PI Notification to write directly in SQL Database or any other option?

I have never use PI Notification before, but I think that you can use one SMS module, plug it in your Server, write a windows service to read Notification using PI Notification SDK and send SMS using AT commands.
To communicate with SMS module, use RS232 COM port Library of .NET
The AT command to send SMS is only 4 or 5 command like AT+CMGS...
The cost is about 300$ for the module and programming cost is <1000 lines of .NET code.
