 | Report Broken URL |  |  | Bangla SMS banglasms.com | |  | | |  | As the pioneers of Bangla SMS, 3SM Systems proudly state that their project has generated a huge response both at the user as well as at the developer base introducing a new era in Bangla messaging. 3SM Systems welcome all the new developers who have remotely exerted their efforts in developing Bangla SMS softwares, although they represent only a subset of the features already implemented by the 3SM Systems team. With the introduction of GPRS by several of the mobile operators as well as more availability of Java supported mobile sets, 3SM Systems feel this time to be appropriate to release their previously developed software for Java-enabled mobile sets. This would enable the users to view the Bangla text at the time of typing as well as send Bangla SMS as text messages.
3SM Systems is a group of freelance programmers. They are all currently studying in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. They are the pioneers of Bangla SMS in Bangladesh. They have developed two different Bangla SMS solutions so far. The picture based solution has been launched by pioneering mobile operator Pacific Bangladesh Telecom Limited (Citycell) as their value added service on the 13th of May, 2005. This was preceded by an agreement signed between 3SM Systems and Citycell on April 26, 2005. The system they implemented converts Bangla Messages in English alphabet into Bangla Messages in Bangla alphabet and then transforms it into a compatible picture message. Hardware support for Bangla text messaging is not yet available. Hence, 3SM Systems has released a text based solution free for public download for the Java enabled mobile sets and it is independent of operators. Bangladeshi users located at more than 63 countries of the world are currently using this free software. This project has already been showcased by BASIS at the SoftEXPO 2005 and has been selected under the IT Innovation Search Program. |
