What is an SMS Gateway?

The job of any SMS Gateway is to serve as a translator and proxy between your internal messaging systems and the GSM cellular network. It should provide flexible and reliable communications and preferably a two way messaging solution. The most common way to achieve this is through the use of the SMTP (Internet e-mail) protocol. By supporting SMTP, the SMS Gateway is itself another e-mail server to which messages are routed. This enables end users to seamlessly send and receive SMS messages using their existing e-mail clients.


Why use an SMS Gateway?

The most compelling reason for any organisation to use an SMS Gateway is that of reduced operating costs. For most businesses, telecommunications is the largest monthly expense second only to wages/salaries.
Although the mobile phone is now considered ubiquitous, calls are still relatively expensive while an employee’s use of a mobile phone can be very difficult to quantify and reconcile with business events. Including an SMS Gateway as a part of your overall IT strategy provides your organisation with another option for cheaper and efficient mobile communications. If you have a mobile workforce or customers with cell phones, using SMS messages over phone calls can dramatically reduce telecommunications costs.


Why m2:Server?

m2:Server is an intuitive, flexible yet powerful messaging server providing the type of features and functionality expected of a modern enterprise class application. Through the use of a GSM mobile phone (with data connectivity) or GSM modem, m2:Server provides your organisation with a feature rich, easy to use SMS Gateway solution at an affordable price.

Even if your organisation already utilises mobile technology in the form of mobile e-mail via data connectivity, m2:Server can co-exist with and compliment your existing services. SMS messaging is a Push based technology and unlike mobile devices that include Pull based POP3 clients, SMS supported mobile phones are 'always-on' and receive new messages almost immediately; an important distinction if your users expect near real-time delivery of information.
