FORT MYERS, FL.—Apr. 1, 2009—Interop Technologies, the premier provider of core wireless solutions for messaging, device management, and gateway connectivity, today announced that it has achieved 53,000 Message Delivery Attempts (MDAs) per second on its affordable SMSC 4 Series solution, a new global speed record for SMS Centers (SMSCs).
The new Interop benchmark is a technology achievement for messaging customers and wireless network operators. SMS traffic levels are soaring, and demand surges even more around holidays and promotions. According to Informa Telecoms & Media (see charts below), nearly 279 billion text messages were sent in Q3 2008 in the United States and Canada, an average of more than 3 billion per day for the 90-day period. Based on straight-line processing, a single Interop SMSC 4 Series solution can handle more than 4.5 billion messages per day—in excess of the total daily North American SMS traffic—in a very small amount of rack space.
The breakthrough shatters Interop's previous throughput record of 36,000 MDAs per second, set only last September. That figure doubled the highest known SMSC throughput figure at the time.
Built with modular, distributed architecture, the extremely robust Interop SMSC 4 Series delivers unlimited scalability for today's high volume and availability requirements, yet fits within a very small, energy efficient footprint.
Not hindered by legacy infrastructure, the SMSC 4 Series solution leverages the latest techniques in scalable technology architecture from leading companies in the Internet world, an environment in which massive throughput and absolute availability are requirements, and applies them to the messaging environment. The Interop SMSC 4 Series technology provides "five-nines" (99.999 percent) reliability. The solution also is future-proof: As operators make changes to network technologies, Interop accommodates them with state-of-the-art protocol gateways, so an investment today in the SMSC 4 Series is a sound technical decision for tomorrow.
The SMSC 4 Series enables operators to add capacity on the fly and save money. Intelligent route caching in the solution reduces HLR load and SS7 termination expenses by up to 50 percent.
Interop Technologies has commercially deployed the SMSC 4 Series for dozens of wireless companies. The complete SMSC 4 Series technology includes hardware, software, and support services. Interop is the only provider to offer SMSC technology in three flexible deployments:
Unlike other hosting companies, which can only provide long-term hosted solutions, Interop helps operators adjust quickly to changing business needs and SMS loads. Interop can easily migrate text messaging services from its hosted solution to its turnkey solution—with no change in technologies or tools. This capability greatly reduces technology and financial risk, especially as load is peaking.
"We keep improving our SMSC 4 Series technology, and it just keeps getting faster and faster," said Damian Sazama, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development for Interop Technologies. "Last year we said our SMSC would scale dramatically, and this year we have proven it."
The complete line of Interop Technologies solutions for messaging, device management, and gateway connectivity solutions will be displayed April 1-3 in booth number 5636 at the CTIA Wireless 2009 tradeshow in Las Vegas.
