SMSEagle Hardware & Software upgrade roadmap

At SMSEagle, we continuously improve our hardware and software to meet the evolving needs of our customers. This roadmap highlights the upgrades currently in development, as well as upcoming features planned for the near and long-term future.

Q4 2026

Software Release 7.1
Software update

SMSEagle 7.1 builds on 7.0 in three areas: broader communication options, stronger control over who can do what, and a more comfortable day-to-day experience.

Communication channels

  • WhatsApp and Signal: more flexible and more reliable
  • Automatic fallback when a message cannot get through

Administration and control

  • Finer control over user permissions
  • Tighter integration with existing infrastructure
  • More configurable voice notifications

Web interface

  • Customizable dashboard
  • Dark mode
  • Better support on mobile devices

Q1 2027

5G dual modem
Hardware update

Our next hardware revision is currently in development and will include support for 5G and dual modem capabilities.

Hardware update

We’re implementing eSIM functionality to make connecting the gateway to a cellular network easier and fully remote. This removes the need to physically manage SIM cards, especially for large-scale or hard-to-reach deployments.

Hardware update

We will implement a built-in battery in the new hardware revision to ensure limited device operation during power outages. This backup system will allow the device to send a notification when external power is lost, acting as a mini UPS. The solution will be designed to support just enough runtime to transmit the alert reliably.
