INTRODUCTION
This is truly an "Information Age" and sometimes, you need to look at where we've been in order to see the future more clearly! Information ---A message received and understood --- Princeton ---Information is a term with many meanings depending on context, but is as a rule closely related to such concepts as meaning, knowledge, instruction, communication, Information Transfer A coordinated sequence of user and telecommunications system actions that cause information present at a source user to become present at a destination user. Broadcast A term to describe communication where a piece of information is sent or transmitted from one point to all other points. There is just one sender, but the information is simultaneously sent to all connected receivers. In networking, a distinction is made between broadcasting and multicastingThe most important use of broadcast information is to set upchannels for one to one communication between the mobile Trans-receiver and the basestation. This is called paging. This project aims at integrating the expansiveness of a wireless cellular networkand the ease of information transfer through the SMS with the coverage of public displayboards. It is thereby a modest effort to realize the complete potential of public display boards in instantaneous information broadcast in swift response to events of interests.

WHAT IS EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGY ?

Embedded technology is software or hardware that is hidden embedded in a large device or system. It typically refers to a fixed function device, as compared with a PC, which runs general purpose application. Embedded technology is nothing new. It all around us and has been for years. An early example of embedded technology is the engine control unit in a car, which measures what setting to give the engine. Your coffee maker has embedded technology in the form of a microcontroller, which is what tells it to make the coffee at 6 a.m. the vending machine has it too. Overall, billions of devices woven into everyday life use embedded technology. In the past embedded technology existed in standalone device vending machines and copiers that did their jobs with little regard for what went on around them,. But as technology has learned to connect device to the internet and to each other, embedded technology potential has grown. Suddenly it is and what actions those connections let them perform. Cell phone companies figured that out a long time ago, which is why cell phones are cheap and the service, plans are expensive. It is not the phone itself that matters, but the connectivity to a vast network of other phones, other people and the internet. Until you download software that lets you find a local restaurant or mange your finances. Let say you make freezers the big, expensive kind that grocery stores buy. You sell ne and you are done with that customer. When it brakes the customer calls a service person, who probably comes from somewhere other than your company. But let us say that freezer knows that it is about to go on the fritz. Let say three refrigerator alerts the customer before it breaks. Better yet, let us say the freezer alerts the manufacturer and you are able to send a service person to do preventative work and save a lot of haagen- dazs from melting. Embedded technology allows all of that to happen. You, the freezer company have transformed yourself from a product company to product and services company. The possibilities go beyond that programming device to communicate with businesses can eliminate the need for costly call centers. Copy machines that can order their own replacement cartridges will save businesses time and money. Remember, the fact the technology is embedded is not what important, and neither is the device.

Conclusion:
The prototype of the GSM based display toolkit was efficiently designed. This prototype has facilities to be integrated with a display board thus making it truly mobile. The toolkit accepts the SMS, stores it, validates it and then displays it in the LCD module. The SMS is deleted from the SIM each time it is read, thus making room for the next SMS. The major constraints incorporated are the use of * as the termination character of the SMS and the display of one SMS as a time. These limitations can be removed by the use of higher end microcontrollers and extended RAM.The prototype can be implemented using commercial display boards. In this case,it can solve the problem of instant information transfer in the campus.
