SmartMS(TM) 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(TM) 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 fallback mechanism which guarantees 100% message delivery.
