Through its website, HBeonLabs provides users with several synopses of GMS projects that may be conducted in the final year of a telecommunications program. Users may use a free synopsis as the basis for a project. More detailed descriptions of these projects are also available for purchase. However, students must ensure that they abide by the academic honesty provisions of their academic institutions before using a detailed description as the basis for their own project.
Consider creating a project that allows users to control a robot car using SMS or some other GSM protocol. This device will have to include a mobile unit capable of receiving text messages. This mobile unit will have to be connected to a microcontroller, which actually carries out the commands sent by the user via text message. This is the basic setup. The meat of the project involves connecting the components together, writing commands and programming the microcontroller to carry out the commands.
Create a project that allows users to send text messages through a computer. This will involve connecting a mobile device with a valid SIM card to a computer. They will have to be connected using a either a cable of some kind or Bluetooth technology. The student will have to write a series of AT commands to modem, allowing users to send messages through the phone with the computer acting as the user interface.
Traditional consumer anti-theft alarms rely on a loud series of noises or sirens designed to alert the owner from a distance. Because almost everyone carries a cellular phone, a more effective anti-theft alarm is one that makes use of these personal devices. Consider creating a project that sends a text message to a user when an anti-theft alarm has been triggered. AT commands of the sort described in the previous section will be of use for this project.
