Building on the success of the first edition, Mobile Messaging Technologies and Services offers extensive new and revised material based upon the latest research and industry developments. While early implementations targeted person-to-person messaging, MMS has now evolved to facilitate such requirements as the mass delivery of time-sensitive messages for content-to-person messaging. This Second Edition exploits the technical maturity of MMS as it is poised to generate a wealth of new business opportunities across the mobile communications sector. The author provides the fundamental technical background required for SMS, EMS and MMS, and supports this with industry cutting-edge developments. ● Contains a revised section on the fundamentals of MMS, including an updated section on GPRS to explain current commercial implementations such as GRX applications. ● Presents the latest developments in MMS standardization, including the design of synchronized multimedia integration language (SMIL) presentations, Digital Rights Management (DRM), transcoding techniques, postcard service and support of advanced multimedia formats. ● Describes the processes for standardizing telecommunications services and technologies (3GPP, OMA, GSM Association, IETF and W3C). ● Provides updated sections on SMS, EMS and heavily revised coverage of the developments in MMS, including MMS interworking and the forthcoming MMS version 1.3. This resource will be invaluable for application developers, manufacturers, operators and content providers involved in the design and deployment of messaging services. It will also be of interest to practitioners involved in the process of standardizing telecommunications services and technologies. Postgraduate students and researchers will benefit from having access to state-of-the-art findings backed by numerous illustrative real-world examples. Includes a companion website featuring information on relevant standards, available phones and developers’ resources.

The present information age is enabled by telecommunications and information technology and the continued convergence of their services, technologies and business models. Within telecommunications, the historic separations between fixed networks, mobile telephone networks and data communications are diminishing. Similarly, information technology and enterprise communications show convergence with telecommunications. These synergies are captured in the concept of Next Generation Networks that result from evolution to new technologies, enabling new services and applications. Network Convergence creates a framework to aid the understanding of Next Generation Networks, their potential for supporting new and enhanced applications and their relationships with legacy networks. The book identifies and explains the concepts and principles underlying standards for networks, services and applications. Network Convergence: Gives comprehensive coverage of packet multimedia, enterprise networks, third generation mobile communications, OSA/Parlay and developments in fixed networks. Gives an integrated view of diverse information and communications systems and technology through a common NGN Framework. Delves into protocols, APIs and software processes for supporting services and applications in advanced networks. Discusses a variety of applications of telecommunications supporting IT and IT enhanced by communications. Follows developments in operations support systems standards and links these to next generation networks. Includes a wealth of examples, use cases, tables and illustrations that help reinforce the material for students and practitioners. Features an accompanying website with PowerPoint presentations, glossary, web references, tutorial problems, and 'learn more' pages. This essential reference guide will prove invaluable to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, academics and researchers. It will also be of interest to professionals working for telecommunications network operators, equipment vendors, telecoms regulators, and engineers who wish to further their knowledge of next generation networks.

Security forces PMR networks are moving from proprietary technologies for their Mission Critical Push-To-Talk basic service, and their data services which must provide large bandwidth real-time access, to the databases. LTE Based is adopted with backup access to public MNOs to complement their own radio coverage. Specific technologies such as multicasting of visio are required so the MCPTT works within a restricted bandwidth. The need to be able to change the main MNOs to provide resilient coverage requires specific choices of SIM cards, with OTAble security domains. Practical LTE Based Security Forces PMR Networks assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of the 4G network architecture and services, and the book focusses on the specific features and choices required to fulfill the need of security forces PMR networks. These include tactical and centralized, including LTE based voice services VoLTE and IMS. It can be used as a reference or textbook, with many detailed call flows and traces being included. The author, who has also a long teaching career in Operations Research, provides mathematical models for the optimization of tactical network federations, multicast coverage and allocation of preemptive priorities to PMR group members. He is a pioneer in the area of Virtual Roaming, an application of graph theory and telecommunications to provide roaming without direct relations, having previously published books on SMS Hubs, SS7 Hubs, Diameter Hubs, GTP Hubs. The use of M2M (monitoring devices) for security forces with mobility is covered in detail in the book, including the new LoRa virtual roaming which goes beyond the scope of PMR.
