Interop Technologies SMSC4 Highest Throughput for SMS Centers

To date, many wireless operators have scaled their capability to meet increased SMS volume and availability requirements by linking multiple SMSCs in daisy chains. However, this practice can result in technical and human resource inefficiencies that increase operating costs and negatively affect reliability. The SMSC 4 Series solves these problems and can be scaled to meet the needs of any size wireless operator.

"This throughput level is an achievement for the industry and Interop Technologies," said Will Hodgman, Executive Vice President of comScore. "The number of Americans sending text messages grew 31 percent over the past year, with 117 million using SMS in June. This technology is very important and timely due to the surging demand for text messaging."

The Interop Technologies SMSC 4 Series combines innovative use of SMS routers, clustering and load balancing technologies, and intelligent route caching to provide extreme scalability and eliminate the need for multiple SMSCs. Since fewer SMSC installations and related technical personnel are required, operators can reduce costs. In addition, operators can improve service for SMS customers. The state-of-the-art, carrier-grade SMSC 4 Series provides the five-nines (99.999 percent) reliability that operators require.

Interop Technologies has commercially deployed the SMSC 4 Series for dozens of wireless companies operating in the company�s hosted and turnkey environments. Interop Technologies offers the technology, which includes hardware, software, and support services, in flexible deployment options.

"The SMSC 4 Series is already helping network operators meet the current demands in messaging growth while providing a better customer experience" said Damian Sazama, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development for Interop Technologies. "This solution also will help simplify SMSC operation and reduce the total cost of ownership.
