Acision Recognised as Number One Enabler of World's Leading Messaging Service


READING, Feb 8/PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    - Acision Drives Messaging Innovation With Message Controller -

Advancing the way the World Connects


    Acision, the world's leading messaging company, today announced its

leadership in SMSC, the architecture behind the world's number one mobile

data service, as calculated by Informa Telecoms & Media. This validation

coincides with the launch of Acision Message Controller, an exciting

innovation in messaging, designed to provide operators with a single,

consolidated platform that supports all messaging services (text, multimedia,

group messaging, chat, e-mail and voicemail) over any network, including 4G,

and any device.


    Pamela Clark Dickson, Senior Analyst, Informa Telecoms & Media,

commented: "Messaging remains the largest driver of data revenues for mobile

operators today and Informa Telecoms & Media forecasts that messaging

revenues will continue to grow over the next five years, with SMS alone

generating GBP73 billion (US$118.3 billion) by 2014. After extensive

research, Informa has calculated that mobile messaging infrastructure vendor,

Acision, is the global number one supplier of SMS solutions, with more than

one-third market share in terms of announced SMSC contracts awarded by mobile

operators*."


    "Messaging continues to prove its popularity and ubiquity as a preferred

method of communication by consumers. The rise of 4G networks, like LTE and

WiMAX, are expected to enhance its growth," says Taco Schoute, Head of

Messaging at Acision. "Mobile operators are well positioned to enrich their

mobile service offerings and messaging will be a main driver of connectivity

for these new services. As consumers demand instant communication and

information, and businesses look to establish a dialogue with mobile users,

messaging is expected to become integrated more deeply into our daily lives.

In order to manage this evolution, operators need to offer secure,

differentiated and converged messaging services, while managing network

complexity and retaining profitability."


    To enable operators to future-proof their networks and seamlessly deliver

innovative new messaging services and drive up revenue streams, Acision has

launched Acision Message Controller, a key component of Acision's new Open

Services Architecture. With Acision Message Controller, Acision delivers a

critical network element in the evolution of messaging to broadband networks

and provides the operator with a single solution that supports all messaging

services over any network and any device.


    "Acision's Message Controller is Acision's basis for the next step in

messaging," commented Taco Schoute. "It simplifies the messaging architecture

for operators enabling them to future-proof their network. Introducing

Acision Message Controller in today's environment creates network

optimization and cost reduction, delivering the essential features for

building new seamless services and revenue streams. Moreover, it addresses

the operator's evolving needs of bridging 2G/3G to 4G networks by supporting

existing mass market services, such as SMS and MMS, while leveraging the

opportunity of new IP based services like group messaging and RCS. This again

is demonstrating that Acision is at the forefront of innovation in

messaging."
