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

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.

Enhancing Security System of Short Message Service for M-Commerce in GSM
Neetesh Saxena et al. / International Journal of Computer Science & Engineering Technology (IJCSET) Enhancing Security System of Short Message Service for M-Commerce in GSM Neetesh Saxena Student M. 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.

How Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) Works
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is an upgraded version of the SMS (Short Messaging Service) through which users can send and receive multimedia messages such as texts, pictures, video clips, audio clips, etc. with any compatible cell phone. It is an advanced messaging service that lets users send multiple media in one single message to one or more recipients. How Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) Works How can one create a multimedia message? The answer is quite simple – take pictures with one’s built-in camera phone or upload audio/video clips into one’s cell phone via the Internet, a USB port, or Bluetooth wireless technology. The only condition is that the recipient should have a compatible cell phone. If one’s phone does not support MMS, one cannot send or receive multimedia messages via MMS. Once someone sends an MMS file, the intended recipient will receive the message even if his/her phone is switched off. The recipient receives the MMS as soon as the phone is switched on. In a non-roaming situation, the message goes directly into the phone and is downloaded automatically without prior notification. Users can save their MMS and send it to any other users’ phone. Each multimedia message may contain more than one page, just like a PowerPoint slide show. Each page may have some text, audio file, or video clips attached, with specified time periods. There is a general procedure to understanding how MMS works. In this procedure, a photo is being sent to another compatible phone. Step one: Take a photo from a camera phone or download one via the Internet.
