Hi, 1. What are the advantages of using SMPP over a plain GSM modem? Does SMPP makes use of GSM modem? 2. What are the hardware requirements if I want to use SMPP? 3. If I have two GSM modems installed, how do I designate that one SMS will be sent using modem A and the other SMS will be sent using modem B? Thank you very much. | |||

Hi John, Apologies for my being so scarce in providing replies here recently. 1.) SMPP is a TCP/IP based protocol that is more commonly used when connecting to mobile operators and service providers. The primary benefit of this protocol over a plain GSM modem is speed and overall capacity. 2.) There is not really a hardware requirement. There is a service provider requirement, as you need to be connecting to an SMS service provider using the SMPP protocol. 3.) There's a good description here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/11908.html Reply back if you need any further clarification. -bn | |||
