SME
|
Small and medium-sized enterprises with 1-249 employees. To be classed as an SME, an enterprise has to satisfy the criteria for the number of employees and one of the two financial criteria, i.e. either the turnover total or the balance sheet total. In addition, it must be independent, which means less than 25% owned by one enterprise (or jointly by several enterprises) falling outside the definition of an SME or a micro-enterprise, whichever may apply. The thresholds for the turnover and the balance sheet total will be adjusted regularly, to take account of changing economic circumstances.

SMS
|
Short Message Service. A service for sending text messages of up to 160 characters to mobile phones that use Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication. A coaxial or optical cable designed for wideband or high digital rate transmission under the sea. This definition is restrictive in that it describes a modern cable which, although it is also used for telegraph and data transmission, is sometimes called a “submarine telephone cable” to distinguish it from the older “submarine telegraph cable”.
