Transport Independent

• Provides complete PDU encoding and decoding capabilities (NOTE: does NOT actually send/receive messages)
• Encode and decode content for GSM devices such as GSM Modems and direct Mobile Phone connections through cable, BlueTooth or Infrared
• Encode and decode content for direct SMSC connections

Multipart Support

• True multipart support (not splitting) - if the target handset supports concatenation then the SDK™ can encode up to 255 PDUs for a multipart message
• Full support for both encoding and decoding multipart messages
• Supports message payloads for phones with >160 character (TEXT) message capability
• Cache support for disparate decoding of incoming PDUs - i.e. objects do not need to be retained in memory to decode multipart messages

COM Technology

• C++ COM/ATL component
• Fully self-contained COM DLL requires no external DLLs - does not require MFC, common control DLLs or any other components
• Unicode support
• Well designed and organized object model with internal interface documentation
• No user interface component - windowless
• Intelligent and flexible cache support for decoding Multipart messages
• Tested with ASP / ASP.NET (through COM Interop) for Web / Web Service integration

Usability

• Transport independent - integrate with SMSC connections, Internet based gateways, GSM devices through InfraRed, Serial Cable or BlueTooth
• Create basic PDU strings for all message types with a single line of code
• Access to only the User-Data and User-Data-Header portion of the PDU (i.e. without transport headers) for integration with Internet based gateways
• Provides octet-lengths for GSM devices using GSM 07.05 AT Command set (AT+CMGS)
• vCard and vCalendar messages can be extended through a Custom Properties collection
• Consistent naming conventions across all objects for an easy learning curve

Documentation

• Comprehensive HTML Help documentation
