SMSC - Short Message Service Centre

The Mobile Arts Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) is a high throughput, full featured SMSC supporting both classic originating SMSC functionality, as well as unique terminating SMSC capabilities. In addition, Mobile Arts provides a suite of embedded SMSC Applications.

The SMSC features include:

  • Mobile Originating (MO) message handling: the SMSC fully supports receipt, processing and onward routing of MO short messages according to 3GPP standards. Messages that cannot be immediately delivered are stored for later delivery based on flexible retry schemes and interworking with the GSM/UMTS network. Further MO capabilities include originating party authorization, content and message type based routing, delivery and status report sending, and flexible invocation of originating SMS applications.
  • Mobile Terminating (MT) message handling: the SMSC fully supports intercept/redirect, receipt, processing, and onward routing of MT short messages. Terminating SMS applications can be invoked regardless of the SMS originating network and the visited network of the message receiver.
