Innovative Communication Technologies

Project Description

In remote areas the voice link over GSM does provide a communication media but lack of GPRS in emergency situation is demanding scenario which requires a solutions. Although the mobile standards do answer all this in terms of the GPRS and the MMS, but availability of such system in emergency situations is not guaranteed and even in normal situations the general masses rarely use this feature. There are various situations where a bare minimum reliable data sending is required. Although most of the data today has gone larger in size, however for some applications still there exist is a need for the minimal data to be sent. As an example for a disaster based situation in a hilly terrain, the person able to reach for rescue could send an image to the team at the back, which can take a better decision by having a visual. SMS is ideal for sending the smaller text based information while MMS is hard to configure and least used. Proposed application aim to deliver large image/multimedia files over SMS.  With 300+ billion SMS for year 2014 and 80% tele-density, this application aims to provide an alternative mechanism for reliable transfer of non textual data over SMS.
