+ | |||
+ | **CDMA**- Code Division Multiple Access is a competing cell | ||
+ | phone service technology to GSM, which is the world’s most | ||
+ | widely used cell phone standard. Sprint, Verizon, and Virgin | ||
+ | Mobile use CDMA.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **GPRS**- General Packet Radio Service was early technology | ||
+ | to enable data communication on GSM networks. It has since | ||
+ | been replaced by better data technologies such as EDGE and | ||
+ | 3G. It is based on GSM and compliments SMS.\\ | ||
+ | **GSM**- Global System for Mobile communications. Cell phones | ||
+ | use a cellular provider’s GSM network by searching for cellular | ||
+ | phone towers in the nearby area. GSM has more complete | ||
+ | global coverage due to roaming and international roaming | ||
+ | contracts. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **MMS**- Multimedia Messaging Service. Takes SMS text | ||
+ | messaging a step further by allowing for longer lengths beyond | ||
+ | the traditional 160-character SMS limit.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PIR**- Passive Infrared. A PIR sensor does NOT detect or | ||
+ | measure “heat”. It detects the infrared radiation emitted from | ||
+ | an object to detect motion. It triggers the camera to take a | ||
+ | photo or video when an object passes in front of the sensor.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **SIM**- Subscriber Identity Module. A small card used in GSM | ||
+ | devices to identify your account to the cellular carrier. Users | ||
+ | may change SIM cards between cameras and the phone | ||
+ | number and data plans transfer with it.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **SMS**- Short Message Service. SMS is also often referred to | ||
+ | as texting, sending text messages or text messaging. The | ||
+ | service allows for short messages to be sent from one cellular | ||
+ | device to another cellular device or from the Internet to a | ||
+ | cellular device.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **SMTP**- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an internet standard | ||
+ | for electronic mail (e-mail) transmission across Internet | ||
+ | Protocol (IP) networks. SMTP was first defined by RFC 821 | ||
+ | (1982, eventually declared STD 10) and last updated by RFC | ||
+ | 5321 (2008) which includes the Extended SMTP (ESMTP) | ||
+ | additions and is the protocol in widespread use today.\\ | ||
