MMS over CDMA
NowSMS v5.50 can now be used as an MMSC in CDMA
environments. Or it can be used as a WAP Push Proxy
Gateway for other applications to send MMS and/or
WAP push messages in a CDMA environment.
NowSMS now supports MMS and WAP Push mesages in
CDMA environments when it is connected to an SMPP-
based SMSC that supports WDP Adaptation for WAP
Push Messages.
WAP Push and MMS in CDMA environments does require
special support on the SMSC. NowSMS has been
tested in conjunction with the HydeCo SMSC for an
upcoming deployment as an MMSC for a CDMA-based
mobile operator.
We look forward to working with more mobile operators
and content providers to help deploy MMS in CDMA
environments.

| NowSMS v5.50 Enhancements | | | NowSMS v5.50 includes improved support for sending
MMS through operator MMSCs over GPRS modems,
including better modem handling, and multithreaded
delivery allowing multiple GPRS modems to be used for
MMS message delivery simultaneously.
A number of updates have also been applied to the
SMPP, MM4 and MM7 implementations, based upon real
world feedback and customers interfacing NowSMS with
other SMS and MMS based applications. The 2-way SMS interface has also been enhanced with
new features and enhanced performance. More about v5.50 Features and Enhancements ... | | |
| WAP Push | | | NowSMS v5.50 now supports the WAP Push Access
Protocol (PAP) to provide the ability to generate more
specialised types of WAP Push messages. PAP is the
standard defined by the Open Mobile Alliance for how
applications can interface to a Push Proxy Gateway for
sending WAP Push messages. With support for PAP, NowSMS can be used as a push
proxy for other vendor's MMSCs. It also becomes
possible to send other types of push messages, such
as those related to SyncML, Wireless Village, and OMA
Digital Rights Management. More about PAP... | | |
| Tip: Sierra Aircard 750 | | | We often recommend the Sierra Wireless Aircard 750
for use as a PC Card GPRS modem with NowSMS. The
reason for this recommendation is because the Aircard
has the ability to simultaneously support GPRS and SMS
access, which is a plus for configurations that are both
sending and receiving MMS messages. However, configuring the Aircard is a bit different from
other modems, because NowSMS does not actually dial-
up the GPRS connection, but instead uses a network
driver. Find more details about this configuration on
our discussion board ... More Info ... | | |
| Tip: Blink SMS? | | | What exactly is a "Blink SMS"? Bryce talks about the
legend of the "Blink SMS" (which is believed to be a bug
in some Nokia handsets), and explains how to send a
blinking SMS message to one of the affected handsets
in this thread on our discussion board. And is this different from a "Flash SMS"? You bet it
is. "Flash SMS" messages are actually part of the GSM
SMS standard. They refer to a message that is routed
directly to the display on the mobile phone, and not
saved to the SMS inbox. There's a link from the
discussion board thread below. Blink SMS and Flash SMS | | |
| Tip: Updating or Deleting a WAP Push Message | | | Did you know that ID tags can be associated with a
standard WAP Push Service Indication (SI) message?
By using the same ID in a subsequent push, you can
replace a previously sent message in the user's push
inbox. You can also request that a previously sent
push be deleted. This article on our discussion board explains the
parameter settings. Updating or Deleting a WAP Push Message | | |
| OMA Digital Rights Management | | | Digital Rights Management (DRM) addresses the most
critical issues facing providers of premium content --
the unauthorised use and distribution of content.
Standardised by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), and
adopted by all major handset vendors, DRM offers new
ways of protecting premium content. Handsets with
DRM support still only constitute a small portion of the
handsets available on the market, but NowSMS v5.50
can help you get ready for wider DRM enabled content Read more about OMA DRM ... | | |
