February 11, 1999: Lucent, TeleComm. Systems offer SMS solution MURRAY HILL, N.J.—Lucent Technologies Inc. and TeleCommunication Systems Inc. introduced a short message service solution they said allows mobile phone users of a common network to send text messages to each other and receive message-receipt acknowledgements. Called Mobile Originated Short Message Service, the solution allows for two kinds of message acknowledgements. Delivery Acknowledgement notifies the sender that the message was delivered and opened successfully. The User/Manual Acknowledgement prompts the user to respond to questions from the sender in a multiple choice format. For example, the question ‘‘What do you want to do tonight?'' could have three possible responses: 1) stay in 2) see a movie 3) go to dinner. The solution supports Time Division Multiple Access technology and is expected to work on Code Division Multiple Access technology in the third quarter. The company hopes to extend the service to allow mobile users to send messages to Internet users as well. Next Previous
