ENTERPRISE SMS

The server is SQL database* driven to offer a robust, secured, and open-platform powerhouse which can be easily integrated into any corporate environment via Web APIs (HTTP), OCX, SOAP, ODBC, SMTP, Radius' and command-line interface.
Supported SMS transmission methods includes GSM (via GSM modems), SMPP' (Short Message Peer to Peer), HTTP, and all other open APIs (requires separate programming/scripting). You can configure your SMS Gateway and WAP Push Gateway server to route your messages through a combination of GSM modems and multiple SMPP hosts.

PHP, ASPX) associated with the keyword, run an SQL query, or send an Email, triggering an interactive response.
Console provides a 'Test' function allowing programmers to test their scripts quickly by simulating actual mobile messaging test procedures on the computer. This RAD function can improve development speed/efficiency by up to 100%.
