Most systems targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) utilize web-based cloud services to link users to devices and their data. But the Net, with its http and graphical interfaces, may not always be needed. At least one company has created an IoT device that communicates via simple text messaging.
The startup FizzJelly is offering cellular-connected devices for monitoring a range of sensors. These are hobbyist devices, intended for experimenters and developers to create their own IoT systems. The systems are Arduino-compatible and fully open for experimentation and customization.
So far, this sounds like many other IoT offerings. What is different about this start up, is its method for connecting with the user. There is no mobile app or web service associated with FizzJelly. Instead, it uses (SMS) messaging for information exchange. This makes the system compatible with more than 80% of all mobile phones (smart or otherwise) now deployed. Talk about penetration rate!
