An exciting new release of the Now SMS/MMS Gateway is currently in beta testing, and available for download. Further information, and a link to download "beta release 2" of the Now SMS/MMS Gateway v5.0 can be found at http://www.nowsms.com/beta5. Remember that Now SMS/MMS Gateway customers are entitled to one year of free updates and enhancements. If you have a previously serialized copy of the product, you can install the latest trial/evaluation version from our web site, and install it over your existing installation without losing any configuration information. === The primary new features of the v5.0 release: 1.) Support for routing MMS messages via external MMSC connections. Similar to how routing prefixes can be defined for routing SMS messages to different SMSCs, this version supports routing MMS messages to different MMSC connections with support for: * Direct MMS Delivery (NowSMS is the MMSC, as in previous versions) * MM7 (XML/SOAP based API over HTTP POST) * MM4 (SMTP based API) * MM1 (HTTP POST of binary MMS content, the protocol used for phone-to-phone MMS) * EAIF (Nokia variation of MM1 defined as an interface into their MMSC product) * Convert MMS message to Multimedia WAP Push (message displayed in WAP browser) 2.) When receiving MMS messages, NowSMS can now automatically initiate a GPRS connection and fetch the MMS message content from the operator MMSC over GPRS and WAP. (This is necessary to enable the receipt of MMS messages from many operator systems.) 3.) Outbound MMS messages can be routed via an MM1 connection to an operator MMSC over GPRS and WAP, allowing messages to be submitted into an operator MMSC over a GPRS/GSM modem. 4.) When receiving MMS messages, in addition to the file-based interface, NowSMS can be configured to automatically parse the MMS content and forward it to an e-mail address, or to an MM7 client (XML/SOAP based API over HTTP POST). 5.) VASP (Value Added Service Provider) accounts can be enabled on the gateway which allow other applications to submit messages to the gateway using MM7, MM4, MM1 or EAIF. 6.) Support for sending SyncML Settings per the Nokia/Ericsson OTA Specification. 7.) Support for sending OMA WAP Provisioning Content, as defined by the OMA WAP Provisioning Content Specification. === Further information, and a link to download "beta release 2" of the Now SMS/MMS Gateway v5.0 can be found at http://www.nowsms.com/beta5. We've also opened a special area of the Now SMS/MMS Discussion Forum (http://www.nowsms.com/messages) for v5.0 specific issues and questions. | |||
