MMS Technology on Nokia

A Picture and a Thousand Words
MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service, a technology that allows you to create, send, and receive text messages that also include an image, audio, and/or video clip. MMS messages are sent from one mobile phone to another, or to an email address.

What's in It for Me?

• Multimedia messaging enriches your mobile messages in much the same way as inserting photos or changing fonts and colors does in email - it's both useful and expressive.
• MMS messages are sometimes considered equivalent to so-called "picture messaging," popularized by the recent imaging phones boom, but other uses of the technology do exist.

How Does It Work?
You don't need to have an imaging phone to send and receive MMS messages, just an MMS-enabled mobile phone, an operator agreement that supports the service, and the correct settings on your handset. Of course, an imaging phone gives you the option of creating and passing on your original images.
An MMS message is a multimedia presentation in a single entry, unlike an email with attachments, making it easier to create and simpler to deliver than an email with attachments. MMS is a scalable technology, which means it's suitable for most types of mobile phones. And MMS is compatible with fixed email addresses, so it is possible to criss-cross back and forth over the mobile-PC border.

Show What You Mean

• Document that dent in your fender, house for sale, ideal location, or celebrity sighting and pass it on
• Send and receive multimedia messages while abroad with MMS roaming
• Set preferences to, for example, receive business messages only during the day and personal messages only after office hours
• Use images, clips or text as content - the fewer the images, the more room for text.
• Got a moblog? There are applications available that let you post an MMS directly to a website

Ready-Made Digital Content and Services

• Download applications such as photo editors, templates, previewers, multi-page MMS enablers, and graphics
• Subscribe to image- or video-based services that send weather reports, sports highlights, financial information, jokes, and more, straight to your phone

Getting the Most out of Your Phone
Technology can be a double-edged sword: it makes devices more useful, entertaining, and just plain cool, but the more advanced the device the more you have to know in order to use it. GPRS, MMS, and browsing the Internet, for instance, all require the phone to be configured before they will work. Thankfully, most Nokia devices can receive all the service settings you need in one message delivered to your phone or in a configuration session.

The Benefits of Automatic Configuration
Convenience. You want to be able to use all your phone's features right away!
It makes new technology less intimidating. Let us do the tech stuff - you just enjoy the results.
Get the settings that match your device's capabilities.
Always correctly configured: your phone's settings can be monitored by your network and automatically updated if the network changes its configuration.

How it Works
You may have already experienced this: you send an SMS to a special number (or call customer service, or request settings on your operator's website), and receive a configuration message. All you have to do is press "Accept" and the new settings are saved in your phone.

Over-the-Air Technology (OTA)
Since 1997, many Nokia devices have used the Nokia-Ericsson smart messaging solution, which allows configuration by a special SMS message. When you get one of these configuration messages, just press "Accept" to save the new settings.
Now another option is to get your settings when buying your phone: a salesperson can send a settings request to your phone via SMS or with a PC. This means you can also get help in trying out new features - and leave the store with that glorious feeling of confidence in your technological ability.

OTA Isn't Always Enough - Go OMA
Mobile technology has come a long way since 1997. Not surprisingly, there are certain settings (like configuring a TCP/IP protocol stack in a WAP 2.0 device) that can't be handled by SMS. Nokia also believes that unless a common device management system is developed in accordance with global standards (such as those defined by the Open Mobile Alliance), it will be difficult and frustrating to keep up with all the different systems.
Part I: OMA Client Provisioning 1.1
In a nutshell, this is the technology that sends settings to a device for the first time. What makes it different from an SMS configuration message? This one's done by sending an XML document using WAP Push over concatenated SMS. No, you don't really need to know what that means - but it allows configuration of those more difficult settings, so it's a good thing.
Part II: OMA Device Management 1.1.2
This is the technology that allows for continuous management of a device's settings: modifying settings, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. Continuous management can take place via GPRS, Bluetooth, Infrared, wireless LAN, or fixed LAN connections, so it's quite flexible!
It makes updates very easy. If your operator has some service upgrade, they can automatically send you the modified settings. If a new service is launched, an operator could send a message to a group of customers asking if they want to take advantage of it. For corporate IT departments, this also makes device management easier.
Troubleshooting? With this 2-way system between a device and a management server, when you call customer care, the personnel can look up your device's configuration and correct it for you.

Future Applications
In the future, device management technology could be extended to enable remote management of applications, including checking installed applications, updating software, and adding new applications.

WCDMA Technology on Nokia

3G Has Arrived
Third-generation mobile telephony or 3G networks such as WCDMA (Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access) and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telephone System) allow for faster data transfer than GPRS and EDGE, and also let you talk while you transfer data.

Advantages of WCDMA
WCDMA technology gives you a faster data connection in mobile networks: currently up to 384 kbps.. In future generations of WCDMA technology, this may increase up to even 10 Mbps.
You can do all of the usual activities: send SMS or MMS messages, download games and ringing tones, synchronize your phone with your PC calendar or corporate intranet, and browse the Internet. WCDMA is also fast enough for video streaming.
With GPRS or EDGE phones, you can't do these things while talking. WCDMA is based on a different technology that lets you hold simultaneous voice and data connections, so you can send images and check your email while you're on the phone.
Like GPRS and EDGE, you're billed for data transferred, not for time connected, so you can be connected just about all the time.
Please check the availability of the 3G service with your network operator and/or service provider.

How WCDMA Works
Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access is a relatively new technology for accessing radio channels (where data is exchanged) with mobile devices.

Background: FM Radio
For a quick explanation, let's first look at a familiar radio scenario. FM radio stations are all assigned frequencies (like 95.6, 102.1, and so on). Stations can have the same frequency as long as there is sufficient distance between them. Have you ever been driving along, listening to your FM radio, when two stations seem to be fighting for the same frequency and you hear both? This happens when you're driving through an area where two stations using the same (or close to the same) frequencies overlap slightly.

Codes Help Avoid Confusion
Usually, cellular networks work in a similar way. When you call someone, you're assigned a channel for the duration of your call. When you send data over GPRS, your phone looks for an empty channel to use. With WCDMA, voice calls and data connections are each assigned codes, not specific frequency channels - hence the term "Code-Division Multiple Access." The device on the receiving end knows the proper code, and automatically filters out any data that isn't stamped with it. This method frees a lot of space on the network that otherwise wouldn't be available, and it adds security.

Wideband Makes Data Flow Faster
Imagine pouring water out of a bottle. If the bottleneck is narrow, you may have lots of water to pour but it's only going to go as fast as the narrow opening will let it. This is where the "Wideband" part of WCDMA comes in: it becomes more like pouring water out of a vase. It's not that the individual water molecules (or bits of data) move any faster, but much more can be transferred at any given time.
That's a very simplified look at the principles behind WCDMA.

What if WCDMA Isn't Covered?
If your phone uses WCDMA and you enter an area where the networks don't yet support it, the phone are designed to automatically switch to using GPRS or EDGE, whichever is available. This is built in to Nokia models - they're called multimode WCDMA/EDGE terminals.
