As a preferred supplier, EMCC has been working directly with Symbian on developing components for all versions of the platform.
Symbian established their Competence Center programme to provide a reservoir of development expertise available to all organisations throughout the mobile sector. The programme is for independent companies that have the specialist skills to contribute to the creation and development of Symbian OS phones. As one of the first Competence Centers, EMCC is involved in implementing new technologies on the platform, assisting manufacturers to integrate new features and capabilities onto handsets and creating Symbian OS applications for a wide range of organisations.
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.
