Short Message Service Java Developers Kit

A necessary building block for developing Short Message Service (SMS) value added services and solutions, the SMS JDK provides an interface to a Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) through Java.

The SMS JDK is ETSI GSM 03.39 compliant. It also includes additional extensions (SMPP 3.3, SMPPP 1.1) to provision customers and distribution lists on a Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) as well as multiple-recipient short messaging functionality.

The SMS JDK is 100% pure Java, so SMS value added service applications developed using this interface will be platform independent and ready to run on a corporate LAN/Intranet. The SMS-JDK is also Internet ready, so SMS services and solutions can now be offered to a large end-user base.

There is a site dedicated to this Noctor. Visit this site for further information. The toolkit can be downloaded locally.

Task

Develop a system that will allow ordinary phones (with SMS inbuilt) to receive updates of information from a computer. The information could be soccor results, baby monitoring functions, heart pace maker updates, tide readings etc. This is an extremely topical area.
