Remote data monitoring system design based on GSM short message service

The development of communication and network technologies has greatly improved the data transmission speed and efficiency. In this paper the design and implementation of a remote data collection and monitoring system was investigated. The proposed system utilized GSM short message service to perform remote data collection and monitoring. The communication software written in VB programming language achieved efficient control of serial interface ports and real-time synchronization of remote data into system database, thus the multi-directional data monitoring was accomplished effectively.
