SUMMARY IN HINDI
मोबाइल नामक एक छोटा-सा यन्त्र आधुनिक जीवन का अभिन्न अंग बन गया है।इस यन्त्र ने मनुष्य को किसी भी स्थान और समय पर सूचना प्राप्ति और प्रदान करने की क्षमता दी है। इसके माध्यम से व्यक्ति सदा अपने को सूचनाओं से जोड़े रख सकता है और वह अपने -आपको अछूता नहीं पाता है। लघु सन्देश सेवा या एस एम एस, मोबाइल सेवा का ही एक अंग है। यह एक वैश्विक सेवा और सुविधा है और इसका उपयोग कहीं भी और कभी भी हो सकता है। सबसे बड़ी बात है कि यह मोबाइल यन्त्र एक छोटा-सा यन्त्र है जिसे आप अपने पाँकेट या बैग में आसानी से रख सकते हैं।
एस एम एस के माध्यम से भेजा वाला सन्देश अपने गंतव्य पर स्वत: पहुँच जाता है। आपका मोबाइल अगर बन्द है तो भी आपके द्वारा भेजा सन्देश, सेवा प्रदान करने वाले केन्द्र पर आपके मोबाइल के क्रियाशील होने तक प्रतीक्षारत रहता है। जैसे ही आपका मोबाइल जीवन्त हो उठता है, सेवा प्रदान करने वाला केन्द्र आपके मोबाइल की तरफ उस सन्देश को संचलित कर देता है। सन्देश को संचरित कर देता है। सन्देश प्राप्तकर्ता को एक सिग्नल द्वारा सन्देश के आगमन की पूर्व सूचना भी दी जाती है ताकि वह सचेत हो जाय।
इस लघु सन्देश सेवा की अगर अपने मोबाइल पर सन्देश प्राप्ति के दौरान किसी व्यक्ति से वार्तालाप कर रहे होते हैं, उस स्थती में लघु सन्देश मार्ग में अवरुद्घ नहीं हो जाता या उसे प्रतीक्षारत नहीं रहना पड़ता । इसका कारण यह है कि वार्तालाप हेतु मोबाइल एक रेडियो तरंग ज्का उपयोग करता है जबकि एस एम एस के सिग्नल संचरण हेतु एक अलग सिग्नल मार्ग का उपयोग करते हैं। इससे आपके वार्तालाप में व्यवधान नहीं उपस्थित होता ।
आज का मोबाइल अब बहुउद्देशीय हो रहा है। इसमें एफ एम रेडिओ, डिजीटल कैमरा, कैलकुलेटर, विश्व के देशों के स्थानीय समय जानने की सुविधा उपलब्ध हो रही है। इसने व्यक्तिगत संचार और लोग संचार (mass communication) की दुनिया में क्रान्ति ला दी है।
जब पीछे मुड़कर देखते हैं तो आश्चर्यचकित रह जाते हैं कि कैसे दबे पाँव से इस अदभुत आविष्कार ने हमारे जीवन में प्रवेश किया । एस एम एस क्रान्ति का सूत्रपात दिसंबर 1992में युरोप में हुआ था जब लिखित एस एम एस [लघु संदेश] वोडाफोन नेटवर्क के माध्यम से एक मोबाइल पर भेजा गया था।

एस एम एस की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता यह है कि उसके माध्यम से वार्तालाप के दौरान भी संदेश भेजें और प्राप्त किये जा सकते हैं।
ऐसा इसलिए संभव हो पाता है क्योंकि वार्तालाप एक निर्धारित रेडियो तरंग पर संचरित होता रहता है जबकि एस एम एस उस दौरान अपने निर्धारित (सिग्नलिंग पाथ) पर यात्रा करता है जिसका आकाशीय विद्युत पथ , रेडियो तरंग से अलग होता है।
