Vodafone Germany Selects NewNet's IP Short Message Gateway to Expand Its Messaging Operations

    AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, October 23, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Vodafone Germany recently selected NewNet's IP Short Messaging Gateway for integration within its VoLTE network. The IP Short Message Gateway (IPSMGW) is available as an integrated solution with both the Lithium and Krypton product lines. IPSMGW allows for seamless availability and capability of sending and receiving text messages. The solution supports all existing SMS-relevant services and use-cases with the current QoS.

The NewNet IPSMGW product was selected after a competitive review by Vodafone Germany. IPSMGW interconnects the IMS Core with the Circuit Switched core for SMS messaging. This gateway provides mobile operators using existing messaging platforms such as short message service centers (SMSCs) to deliver IP-based messaging with or without interaction from the Krypton RCS Application Server.

"This service provides our partner operators with supported SMS interworking with IP-based messaging on a single platform," explains Arjan Lasschuit, Senior Director for Product Management for NewNet's Messaging Products. "IPSMGW protects operators' SMS and MMS revenues and investments, while providing a cost effective growth strategy for IP based messaging."

IPSMGW ensures continuity for customers in the transition from circuit switch to IP-based LTE environments, while minimizing capital expenditures required to provide messaging services over IP. Lithium is one of the converged messaging solutions offered by NewNet Communication Technology, whose product portfolio also include Krypton, an RCS 5.2 GSMA accredited end-to-end network solution.
