Reliable SMS/voice alerts for energy
& water utilities

A power grid fault, a pumping station failure, a power outage, or a water-level threshold breach all call for an immediate response. SMSEagle delivers SMS and voice alerts directly to on-duty operators, dispatchers, and maintenance teams via cellular networks, even when primary communication systems go down.

Critical alerts are sent directly through cellular networks, so they reach on-duty staff even during Internet or IT system outages. Works in air-gapped environments.

Faster fault
resolution

Instant SMS or voice call notifications shorten the time between detecting a problem and taking service action. 

On‑prem SMS gateway keeps data private inside your infrastructure

Monitoring of distributed sites

Oversee pumping stations, water treatment plants, substations, transformer stations, wastewater treatment plants, and other field sites from a single place. 

Reliable SMS delivery for critical alerts and notifications

Continuity of
service

Minimize the impact of failures and reduce downtime for energy, water, or heating supplies through rapid communication with personnel.

Reliable communication for critical situations

Operators of power, water, and district heating networks are responsible for infrastructure where unplanned downtime can affect thousands of customers. SMSEagle supports the alerting, escalation, and repair-coordination process, helping teams respond faster to critical events.

Connect SMSEagle to your existing energy & water system

You don’t need to rebuild your current systems. SMSEagle integrates with the solutions used by energy, water, and district heating operators, such as SCADA, PLCs, telemetry systems, meters, process sensors, network monitoring systems, and OT devices.

40+ ready-to-use features packed in a single solution

See how a single device helps you respond faster to power and water network faults and improves communication with field crews. 

Automatically send SMS alerts when a water-level sensor, emergency switch, or power-fault indicator changes state. Remotely control selected infrastructure elements (e.g. a valve or pump) via SMS, without visiting the site. 

Modbus TCP and SNMP monitoring

Monitor PLCs, energy meters, telemetry devices, and network equipment without additional software. When predefined thresholds are exceeded – such as reservoir water level or grid voltage – SMSEagle sends a notification immediately. 

Deliver notifications from SCADA and DCS systems directly to the phones of dispatchers, water treatment plant operators, and on-duty engineers. 

Notify personnel with automated text-to-speech voice messages – essential for faults requiring an immediate response. 

Ring-only alert calls help get a duty officer’s attention even at night, when a phone is in silent mode – important for control rooms operating 24/7. 

If a network-fault alert isn’t acknowledged, the system automatically forwards it to the next person according to a predefined schedule and procedures. 

Route notifications only to personnel currently on duty. An ideal solution for control rooms and repair crews working shift-based schedules. 

Modem failover (HA cluster)

Ensure uninterrupted operation of the alerting system in critical infrastructure through automatic failover to a backup modem and device operation in a high-availability cluster.

Examples of applications in energy and water utilities

See how SMSEagle helps deliver alerts from the systems and devices used in energy and water/wastewater utilities. 

Instant SMS alerts from SCADA systems

The SCADA system detects a transformer fault, a line overload, a short circuit, or another critical failure at a substation. SMSEagle automatically sends an SMS alert to the on-duty grid engineer, enabling a fast response and reducing the duration of the power outage. 

SCADA/HMI to SMS Eagle Device to cellular network and SMS alert sent to the on‑duty engineer.

A level sensor in a retention tank or a wastewater pumping station detects a threshold breach (overflow risk or pump dry-run) or a pump failure. The signal is sent to a digital input on SMSEagle, which automatically sends an SMS alert to the on-duty water utility operator.

SMSEagle periodically reads data directly from a PLC or a Modbus TCP device. If a pump fails, pressure drops, or power is lost, the device independently generates and sends an SMS alert, without needing a SCADA system or Internet access.

A power or water repair crew working on-site receives an SMS with an instruction or a request to confirm that a task has been completed, e.g. switching the network or closing a valve. The reply is automatically logged by SMSEagle.

A monitoring system detects a switch to battery power or a UPS failure at a substation, transformer station, or pumping station. SMSEagle immediately sends an SMS notification to the administrator or the on-duty automation engineer, even when the site’s network infrastructure is unavailable. 

Flow: UPS backup power sends SNMP/digital input to SMS Eagle Device, then over cellular network to the operator, triggering an SMS alert to the on‑duty engineer.
