StreamWIDE (Paris: ALSTW) (FR0010528059 - ALSTW), the specialist in next-generation, value-added solutions for telecoms operators, announces the launch of SmartMS technology, a new mobile messaging standard enabling global mobile operators to actively defend their positions against over-the-top players and prepare for the evolution of SMS/MMS towards IP-based messaging.
The SmartMS solution incorporates a carrier-grade SIP application server, a suite of white-label mobile messaging applications for smartphones, and clearing house services to ensure interoperability between operators. SmartMS offers a transparent and unified experience of both legacy and IP-based mobile messaging including multimedia file transfers, map location sharing, push-to-talk service and a sophisticated SMS fall-back mechanism, which guarantees 100% message delivery.
SmartMS technology delivers a cost-efficient and swiftly deployable alternative to RCS-e for mobile operators seeking to deploy next-generation mobile messaging solutions, without the requirement of hefty capital investment in a full IMS network and RCS-compliant equipment. Mobile subscribers will benefit from a similar feature set with an equal level of security and reliability, as the RCS-e gateway ensures compatibility between respective systems.
"By bridging the best of both operators and OTT worlds, SmartMS technology preserves SMSC investments, helps mobile service providers address the erosion of the SMS market, and provides them immediately with a key differentiating service that will easily integrate into any future RCS-e infrastructure," commented Pascal Beglin, StreamWIDE CEO.
The solution will be demonstrated in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress event (25 to 28 February 2013), at StreamWIDE booth, Hall 5, Stand 5G95, at The CCA Global Expo, in New Orleans in April, and at The CTIA Las Vegas in May 2013.
