In terms of SMS performance, cost and messaging services, SMS service providers belong to two different models: SS7 connectivity and aggregators.
TynTec's strategic move to the SS7 connectivity model (international termination) gives it a unique strength in the mobile messaging arena. TynTec goes beyond consumer-level SMS and provides enterprises, mobile operators and mobile services providers with the true enterprise-quality SMS.
Aggregator Model (Local Termination)
Briefly, with an aggregator model multiple agreements with operators must be set up to send and receive data into and out of the operator’s SMS-Centre. But aggregators don’t have any direct connection into the deep level mobile telecoms infrastructure (SS7), what is fundamental for the data routing. And aggregators can only guarantee the delivery of the messages until it reaches the operator’s SMS-Centre - after the SMS reaches the operators SMS-Centre, the SMS is out of the service provider’s control.
SS7 Connectivity Model (International Termination)
In contrast an SS7-based connectivity approach centres on strategic partnerships with mobile network operators, supplying the SMS service provider with direct access into the deep level mobile telecoms infrastructure. This solution allows SS7-based SMS service providers the ability to route data through their own infrastructure, allowing SMS sending directly to and from recipients without having to go through the SMS-Centres of other operators.
SS7-based SMS service providers can offer full delivery guarantees of messages and optimised routing, as well as avoiding delays and message losses due to the total control and visibility of the message path.
