  • ILX800-SMSG Datasheet
    DATASHEET Micro800 SMS Plug-in Module for GSM Networks ILX800-SMSG The ProSoft Technology SMS Plug-in Module adds bi-directional SMS text messaging capability to the Allen-Bradley Micro820, Micro830, and Micro850 controllers. Operating over the GSM cellular network, the plug-in module provides a cost- effective and secure method for OEMs to add remote communication features using cellular phones as the user interface to their machines and systems. Applications include remote alarming, environmental/energy monitoring, data collection, machine condition, inventory status alerts and production counts. The SMS plug-in is activated by installing a standard GSM Voice/SMS SIM card (contact your local GSM cellular provider for plan options and costs). After activation it will associate to the local provider tower and enable bi- directional text messaging between the controller and remote cell phones. Because the module uses SMS, there is no need for costly cellular data plans. The SMS Plug-in snaps into an open slot in the front of the controller. The controller provides power and all communications are over the backplane. A sample CCW program is available at no additional cost with plug-in function block drivers and a sample program provided in Structured Text, Ladder and Function Block languages. Programmers may use these sample programs for creating their own projects for message sending, receiving, alarming and machine status. The front mounted coax connector allows for either a direct-mounted antenna or externally mounted antenna (installed

But one of the key reasons we keep using pagers is if there is ever a disaster in the area, we know that cellular phone lines will be overloaded very quickly, and we can communicate with key staff via pager.

  • Protect Consumers from Spam and Scam Robotexts
    Media Contact: Cecilia Sulhoff, (202) 418-0587 [email protected] For Immediate Release FCC TAKES ACTION TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM SPAM ROBOTEXT MESSAGES WASHINGTON, December 12, 2018—The Federal Communications Commission today issued a ruling rejecting requests to make it harder for text messaging providers to protect consumers from spam and scam robotexts. The Commission’s decision makes clear that wireless providers are authorized to continue their efforts to stop unwanted text messaging through robotext-blocking, anti-spoofing measures, and other anti-spam features. Text messaging has become a critical communications option for consumers with 1.77 trillion messages exchanged in the United States in 2017. Wireless messaging has become a trusted form of communication for millions of Americans in large part because wireless providers have taken measures to prevent spam and other unwanted or malicious traffic from clogging consumers’ phones. As a result of these efforts, wireless messaging remains a relatively spam- free service, with the spam rate for Short Message Service (SMS) estimated at less than 3%. In today’s ruling, the FCC denies requests from mass-texting companies and other parties to classify text messaging services as “telecommunications services” subject to common carrier regulation under the Communications Act—a classification that would limit wireless providers’ efforts to combat spam and scam robotexts effectively. Instead, the FCC finds that two forms of wireless messaging services, SMS and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), are “information services” under the Communications Act. With this decision, the FCC empowers wireless providers to continue taking action to protect American consumers from unwanted text messages.

Tech, GGSIPU Delhi Ashish Payal Asstt. Prof, USIT, GGSIPU Delhi Abstract- Global System for Mobile (GSM) is a second generation cellular standard developed to cater voice services and data delivery using digital modulation. Short Message Service (SMS) is the text communication service component of mobile communication systems, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between mobile phone devices. SMS will play a very vital role in the future business areas whose are popularly known as m- Commerce, mobile banking etc. For this future commerce, SMS could make a mobile device in a business tool as it has the availability and the effectiveness. The existing SMS is not free from the eavesdropping, but security is the main concern for any business company such as banks who will provide these mobile banking. Presently there is no such scheme which can give the complete SMS security. Now, a new security scheme for improving the SMS security is proposed here. At first plaintext of SMS would be made as cipher text with the help of existing GSM encryption technology, then this cipher text would be digitally signed with the help of public key signature. These will be made compatible to existing infrastructure of GSM security. The proposed scheme will give total authenticity, data integrity, confidentiality, authorization and non-repudiation which are the most essential issues in m-commerce or mobile banking and in secure messaging.

  • Just Text Me: the Mutually Shaped Story of the Short Messaging Service (SMS)
    Abdilova The Mutually Shaped Story of the Short Messaging Service (SMS) Just Text Me: The Mutually Shaped Story of the Short Messaging Service (SMS) Lisa Abdilova Stanford University The more people text message, the better phone keyboards become; the more messages texters can send, the more they will write. This article demonstrates this mutual shaping phenomenon through a socialized history of text messaging communication from 1970 until now. While texting provides excellent benefits—including social connectivity and a platform for immediate, direct exchanges—it also raises concerns. Texting while driving, dining, and socializing are now all commonplace, and yet often frowned upon if not actually illegal. This essay explores several questions: how has text messaging changed our culture? How were cell phones developed, culturally integrated, and upgraded? How have mobile hardware and software been molded to consumer needs? Who uses the short messaging service (SMS) and for what? Through a close analysis of a series of texting’s critical elements—like the medium of choice, user demographics, billing, message content, and social implications—this essay will demonstrate how societal and technological influences have worked together to develop and continue to shape the text messaging phenomenon as we know it today. People love to text, and love to do so for more reasons than demographic or usage statistics can account for alone. Zhenghao and Liu conducted intensive in-depth semi-structured interviews with exchange students in China on why they use SMS text messaging in 2010, and thereby provide qualitatively descriptive insights into text messaging use. Their participants came from a variety of Western backgrounds and yet shared common perspectives in their answers.

  • Notable Trials and Settlements
    Notable Trials and Settlements Trials We represented Samsung Electronics Company and its U.S. subsidiaries in the latest chapter of Cupertino based Apple Inc.’s “holy war” against the Android smartphone operating system. In the face of allegations that Samsung infringed five patents and owed Apple $2.2 billion in damages, Quinn Emanuel remained undaunted. During a trial held in Apple’s backyard (San Jose, California), the firm convinced the jury that two of Apple’s patents were not infringed and, more importantly, that Apple’s damages were less than 5.5% of the amount Apple sought. Quinn Emanuel’s trial team further convinced the jury that Apple itself was an infringer, having used technology covered by one of Samsung’s counterclaim patents. Outnumbered but not outgunned, Quinn Emanuel obtained this result against no fewer than three nationally recognized law firms that represented Apple throughout the case. We represented TransWeb in the defense of patent infringement claims asserted by 3M and the pursuit of antitrust claims against 3M. After a two and half week trial, we obtained a unanimous jury verdict that 3M’s asserted patent claims were invalid, not infringed and (in an advisory capacity) unenforceable due to inequitable conduct. The jury also found that 3M violated the antitrust laws by attempting to enforce fraudulently obtained patents against TransWeb and awarded lost profits and attorneys fees as antitrust damages, resulting in a $26 million judgment. The Court subsequently found that 3M had committed inequitable conduct rendering the asserted patents unenforceable. We represented Samsung against Apple in an International Trade Commission Investigation involving a Samsung patent, U.S.
