Messaging Services

There's a lot of hype about mobile data apps. Even so, SMS and MMS are still the most important sources of non-voice revenue. You need to protect those revenues as you shift to IMS and LTE networks.

Your existing SMS and MMS services won’t work in the IP world. You can duplicate them in your new network, but that’s costly and risky.

The Messaging Solution creates a messaging bridge between your networks. You can deliver SMS and MMS to IP subscribers, using your 2G/3G messaging centers.

  • IP Short Message Gateway (IP-SM-GW): interworks the circuit and packet networks, enabling the origination and termination of SMS messages between the two domains.
Benefits:
  • Simplify network migration
  • Ensure service continuity
  • Reduce the cost of providing messaging in IP networks
  • Offload the circuit-switched layer of your SMS traffic to LTE/IMS network
