SMS Roaming Hubs Pass Testing
Published on:
SMS services provider, TynTec says that its International Messaging Transit (IMT) product has successfully completed the GSMA's recent trial of SMS hubbing interoperability technologies. The GSMA hubbing trial was a project by the trade body to drive the appropriate standards and technologies to enable operators to quickly and cost effectively broaden their SMS footprint.
Hubbing technologies increase international SMS connectivity without the need to sign additional, costly and time-consuming bilateral SMS interworking agreements between individual operators. By creating hubs with connections into multiple operators, technologies such as TynTec's IMT can give operators SMS reach into a wide range of geographies with a single legal, commercial and technical agreement.
TynTec's IMT hubbing service uses TynTec's existing network of operator relationships to offer operators access into over 400 networks in more than 150 countries. IMT offers operators the chance to enable seamless two-way SMS using their preferred connection method (SS7 or SMPP) whilst also providing the necessary conversions between different formats.
Michael Kowalzik, CEO of TynTec, said: "IMT has been proven to deliver all the GSMA requirements, as well as additional features to enhance the SMS hubbing experience. Our proprietary, reliable and scalable technology gives operators everything they could need when looking for a hubbing solution whilst our reach gives a huge range of connectivity options for networks looking to expand their portfolio of interworking relationships."
Alex Sinclair, CTO of the GSMA, said: "This trial is bringing together all of the leading hub providers to promote our goal of "any-to-any" connectivity. We believe that the Open Connectivity project is hugely important for the global 3GSM community as it is only through seamless connectivity that the industry is going to be able to offer consumers both the reach and experience they're looking for."
