Bichara Tecnologia and Interop Technologies announce partnership to provide short message service (SMS), multimedia message service (MMS), and wireless application protocol (WAP) solutions to mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) in Brazil.

Interop Technologies Short Message Service Center 4 Series has exceeded messaging throughput records. The solution can now provide a throughput level of 100,000 Message Delivery Attempts per second, which beats the 53,000 MDAs per second the product achieved a year ago.

At a time when many companies are feeling the pinch of the recession with fewer contracts and having to downsize their workforces, Fort Meyers, Fla.-based Interop Technologies is using the downturn to move its operations center to the Dallas area and grow its employee base.
