A Study in Mobile Messaging

Overview Mobile messaging technology is evolving rapidly to provide multiple services and applications to today's subscribers. With the continued delay of third-Generation (3G) deployments and migration to fully packet-switched networks, coupled with the demand for fast-to-market data applications over existing wireless networks, mobile operators look more than ever at their short messaging systems to fill the gap. Existing Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile networks use Short Message Service (SMS) as a multipurpose data service that enables rapid deployment of data applications without the need for 3G bandwidth capabilities. In fact, SMS traffic is growing exponentially, straining existing mobile operators' signaling networks and infrastructure.
