Subscribers expect SMS and MMS as a critical service from any mobile device. S/MMS are significant cash generators for any mobile operator around the world, with high growth in usage and revenues across the globe. As a result, business case for any mobile broadband service has to include the delivery of both SMS and MMS messaging in order to compete effectively and generate revenues at the same time.

Mavenir is bridging legacy messaging networks with IMS technologies with the IP-SM Gateway to deliver SMS and MMS messages over any mobile broadband devices. While SMS delivery is standardized by 3GPP as IP-SM Gateway, MMS inter-working is Mavenir’s innovative extension to simplify transition of SMS and MMS to SIP/IMS based networks.

Storage can also be used to archive and access both text and multimedia messages on demand if desired by the subscriber’s personal profile. The IP-SM Gateway may also utilize the XDMS to store subscriber specific profiles such as group lists to enable group messaging across any devices – 2G, 3G, 4G and IMS.
