Mobile Phones and the related technologies are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Various technical arenas in the field of Telecommunication and Embedded Systems have come very near to the common people. The number of people with cell phones is on the rise. A day will come, somewhere in the near future, when a mobile phone is referred to in the same class of Food, clothing and shelter. Improvements in the Networking technologies have fostered growth of very dense networks. Land line telephones have been becoming less and less popular and people now prefer communicating while on the move. When people have a good connectivity at their disposal, with tremendous power of mobile computing to supplement the same, we can think of connecting their home appliances to a mobile phone wirelessly. With this, people would be able to turn on and off, and to some extent, control the appliances at their home even from a distant place. The usefulness of a long range remote control to home appliances has no limits. A setup facilitating such a thing would be to connect the home appliances to a microcontroller interfaced to a GSM modem that receives the controls from the user, the means of sending signals to the appliances being a mobile phone. This project is an implementation to the idea of the wireless communication between a mobile phone and a microcontroller. Our administrator uses a simple GSM based handset for sending messages to different display stations which are located far away from him. The GSM modem used at the receiver end is used to receive the messages and LCD to display them. As we are using mobile for sending messages, it is easy to handle and operate. As it is a wireless transmission the system has very less errors and maintenance. With greater efficiency we can display the messages at various places like public transports, crowded
