Acision SMSC

As the mobile messaging market is entering the smartphone era, it is undergoing drastic change. Enabled by increasing smartphone penetration and driven by the consumer perception of free services, OTT messaging apps have seen a strong take-up in mature markets. Still, from a revenue perspective, SMS will remain the most significant messaging service for mobile operators, with P2P SMS representing a $100+ billion operator revenue stream that will continue to grow for years to come.

It is imperative that mobile operators introduce new revenue streams, using SMS as a channel for consumer and enterprise services and at the same time extend the SMS service to IP devices and networks, securing existing revenue streams in the LTE era.

A recent industry survey conducted by Acision confirmed that SMS service differentiation is likely to have a strong impact on messaging profitability. Pre-requisites for new and differentiated SMS services are high system performance and capacity, as well as flexibility in service functionality.
