Messaging solution provider, Acision claims that Informa Telecoms & Media ranked it at the top for SMSC.

Pamela Clark Dickson, Senior Analyst, Informa Telecoms & Media, says, “Messaging remains the largest driver of data revenues for mobile operators today and Informa Telecoms & Media forecasts that messaging revenues will continue to grow over the next five years, with SMS alone generating £73 billion (US$118.3 billion) by 2014. After extensive research, Informa has calculated that mobile messaging infrastructure vendor, Acision, is the global number one supplier of SMS solutions, with more than one-third market share in terms of announced SMSC contracts awarded by mobile operators*.”

“Messaging continues to prove its popularity and ubiquity as a preferred method of communication by consumers. The rise of 4G networks, like LTE and WiMAX, are expected to enhance its growth,” says Taco Schoute, Head of Messaging at Acision. “Mobile operators are well positioned to enrich their mobile service offerings and messaging will be a main driver of connectivity for these new services. As consumers demand instant communication and information, and businesses look to establish a dialogue with mobile users, messaging is expected to become integrated more deeply into our daily lives. In order to manage this evolution, operators need to offer secure, differentiated and converged messaging services, while managing network complexity and retaining profitability.”
