Si.mobil Secure Messaging Profitability with Openmind SMSC

26 August, 2010 - Dublin, Ireland – Openmind Networks has announced that leading Slovenian operator Si.mobil is now fully operational with a dual-site, geographically redundant deployment of its market leading Traffic Control SMSC. The system replaces a Comverse SMSC, and provides Si.mobil with a fully protected messaging platform shielded from spam and spoofing attacks.

Commenting on the announcement, Luka Šušteršič , Core Network Manager at Si.mobil said “This new deployment secures our requirement for messaging capacity growth into the foreseeable future. With Openmind, we have a partner who fully understands our business and technical needs. With Traffic Control, we have a system that gives us the operational efficiency necessary to achieve continuing profitability from our SMS services against a background of falling prices and rising volumes”.

“Traffic Control is the system most operators trust to replace their old SMSCs when they no longer offer the efficiencies necessary to sustain messaging business profitability”, said Openmind CEO, Alex Duncan. “Our experience gained from many years in this business, and 30 successful deployments of our platform, has allowed us to fine-tune our replacement and migration process to the point that it is completely seamless for our customers. We provide our customers with a highly cost-efficient,  easy-to-use and maintain, replacement system, that is also fully backwards compatible with the legacy platform.”
