Iristel’s SMS messaging platform provides routing, interoperability, translations, and management across technologies for seamless messaging between wireless operators and IP-based service providers.
The most critical factor in the success of SMS services is immediate delivery of a message, which leads to revenue guarantee. IP-based service providers must be confident that messages are delivered to end-users. In fact, a service provider’s success – and the success of the customers they serve – depends on the ability to manage a range of issues such as interoperability, network and routing, and complex business relationships that exist in the messaging industry.
Our SMS solution is intended to be used for peer-to-peer messaging (that is, between two subscribers, each having their own permanently assigned phone number), and is not a replacement for short-code aggregation type services.
Iristel is the first VOIP operator with coast to coast coverage offering SMS enabled Canadian DIDs, offering the most complete approach to meeting the technological challenges associated with this service. The SMS interconnections are done using SMPP protocol and all SMPP connections are done through VPNs. The SMS interconnection includes unlimited inbound SMS-es (from mobile networks to customer) and Outbound SMS-es are offered at wholesale pricing plans, based on monthly volumes. Direct connection to Iristel includes redundant SMPP binds.
The advantages of using Iristel’s SMS solution include:
- Real Time Message Delivery, which provides real-time processing of messages versus batch message delivery
- Delivery Confirmation
- Fast configuration process and updates
- Redundancy through 2 dedicated servers
- Secured transmission through VPN
- Highly competitive interconnection costs
- The possibility to select Inbound Only SMS, Outbound Only SMS, or both
