Telematics is remote monitoring, measurement and presentation of data at a centralised location. Various information like weather, temperature, water level etc. information are collected and transferred in real time and those information are stored and displayed at a centralised location. This is telematics or telemetry.
SMS ( short messaging service) can be used for SMS telemetry. SMS is a wonderful way of sending and receiving short information in wireless ( GSM and CDMA ) network. Though SMS is thought as a feature built in mobile phone, but there are other equipments too which can send and receive SMS. GSM modem is such product which uses a mobile SIM card, has a computer connectivity through USB or RS232 port. FCT ( Fixed Cellular Terminal) is another product which can be used for sending and receiving SMS using AT commands.
