With any model console server you can use email-to-SMS services to send SMS alert notifications to
mobile devices. Almost all mobile phone carriers provide an SMS gateway service that forwards email to
mobile phones on their networks. There’s also a wide selection of SMS gateway aggregators who
provide email to SMS forwarding to phones on any carriers. Alternately if your console server has an
embedded or externally attached cellular modem you will be given the option to send the SMS directly
over the carrier connection.
