Comverse’s Intelligent Short Message Service Center (ISMSC) is a high-performance short message service center that provides scalable capacity and open connectivity to the web and SMS-based applications. It provides full IP connectivity, GPRS support, and is well prepared for the migration to 3G.
The prestigious MII accreditation follows announcements made in 1999 and 2000 that China Mobile Communications Corporation (China Mobile) and China Unicom respectively, had placed Comverse on their list of authorized vendors for SMS, reinforcing Comverse’s status as the leading mobile enhanced services provider in mainland China. To be selected for this authorization, applicants’ products and services are subjected to a rigorous evaluation procedure. Teams of experts representing both technical and business divisions of China Mobile and China Unicom conducted evaluations of all vendors’ proposed products and supporting materials.
Six major mobile operators in China have deployed the Comverse ISMSC system and have officially launched SMS to their customers. These operators include Guangdong Mobile (GMCC), Shanghai Mobile, Liaoning Mobile (LMCC), Hei Longjiang Mobile, Wuhan Mobile and Shanghai Unicom.
It is an honor to have been recognized by the Ministry of Information and Industry, said Zeev Bregman, Chief Executive Officer of Comverse. MII authorization is a major milestone and positions Comverse for significant growth with the rapid expansion of China’s mobile subscriber base.
Comverse has been operating in China since 1993. The company has offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with research and development centers in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
