Implementations Mobile Gateway and SMSC Gateway

Implementations Direct To Mobile Gateway Appliance and Direct To SMSC Gateway

Direct To Mobile Gateway Appliance
A Direct To Mobile Gateway is a device which has built-in wireless GSM connectivity. It allows SMS text messages to be sent and/or received by email, from made by acquiring a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) web pages or from other software applications. Direct To Mobile Gateways are different to SMS Aggregators because they are installed on an organization's own network and connect to a local mobile network. The connection to the mobile network is made by acquiring a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card from the mobile operator and installing this in the gateway. Typically Direct To Mobile Gateway appliances are used for low to medium volume messaging.

Direct To SMSC Gateway
A Direct To SMSC Gateway is a device which allows SMS text messages to be sent and/or received by email, from web pages or from other software applications. The Gateway connects directly to a Mobile Operator's SMSC via the Internet or direct leased line connections. It converts the message format into a format understood by the SMSC, typically this is the SMPP protocol. Direct To SMSC Gateways are used by SMS Aggregators to provide SMS services to their clients. Typically Direct To SMSC Gateways are used for high volume messaging and require a contract directly with the Mobile Operator.
