This paper looks at how new, innovative SMS solutions can be used to optimize the current legacy SMSC network.
The explosive growth in the messaging market is straining the capacity and functionality of legacy SMSCs. The systems lack message handling flexibility and do not support advanced services such as prepaid billing interfaces, firewall/SPAM control, real-time service monitoring and SIP-based messaging. To maintain profitability while handling increasing SMS traffic loads, operators need to deploy a more cost-effective SMS network architecture. This paper addresses:
- The challenges associated with the legacy, SMS network
- Optimizing the SMS network with a modular, network-based SMS solution
- Use cases and associated benefits
