Case Studies

 

Sling
EMCC has been heavily involved in the development of the Symbian platform since its establishment and has worked on numerous projects over the years.

Our continued close collaboration with Symbian has led to a unique and sustained partnership that has seen EMCC become a supplier of choice for many of the engineering section teams within Symbian.

Our role & achievements

One of the first projects involved implementation of the various APIs that provide the messaging capability within the platform. Within the messaging framework there are Messaging Type Modules (MTMs) which are “plug-in” modules that allow developers to extend the capabilities of the messaging system. EMCC was responsible for providing this functionality. This project involved development of core technologies such as SMS, MMS, Email, Bio Messaging, Bluetooth, IR and Fax through their associated MTMs. EMCC also made a significant contribution to a review of the IMAP architecture.

Since 2000, EMCC has been working with Symbian’s PIM and Browsing team to provide development expertise in areas such as Calendar (including Group Scheduling, Time Zones and Daylight Saving), Contacts, Synchronisation (implementing key functionality in SyncML) and Browsing technologies.

Another important long term project has involved working with the Symbian UI framework team to develop the UIKON UI library and various components. This project also included developing various aspects of Graphics and the Window server for the platform.

EMCC continues to work on important development projects for Symbian and due to consistent excellence in delivery has long been established as a preferred supplier. The mutual trust in our relationship with Symbian means that they can confidently refer third party organisations to EMCC as a capable and dependable provider of challenging and complex mobile solutions.
