smsPULSE General Information

Multiple Protocols
smsPULSE is available with two communication protocols.

• HTTPS (sms credits are bought from us)
• GSM (sms credits are bought from your SIM vendor)
• MMS - for sending and recieving multi-media files

All protocols are available in all installations.  Depending on your licence, HTTPS only protocol is available in smsPULSE Standard edition while other protocols are available in the smsPULSE MM edition. You may start with the Standard edition and upgrade to MM at any time. See MMS connections.

Benefits
This unique feature allows smsPULSE to provide SMS and MMS services where other solutions fail.  Consider the situation where your server is not connected to the "Outside world" - only smsPULSE can switch automatically to Island Mode.  MMS messages are delivered directly to your internal databases allowing you to develop innovative applications.

When using smsPULSE MM you can manage your own SMS costs and buy your credits from a local SIM provider.

Inbound text services are available using attached GSM devices.

Browser Interface
smsPULSE offers different methods of integration into your Windows environment - the common interface is a Web Browser.  Complete Administration is provided using a Browser, regardless of platform. smsPULSE for Domino also offers a client interface and management via the admin client.

• smsPULSE, smsROUTER and smsLINES add-ins
• A collection of databases used to control and handle messages
• Many console commands
• All activities are recorded
• API using various common methods
• In a Domino environment optionally use specialist mail forms
• Integration with directories

Benefits
Ease of use - everyone know how to use a browser (well almost).  Reduce management costs and complexities. Your administrators will be able to fully manage the working of smsPULSE right from thier browser, locally or remotely, even from their SmartPhone.

Your users wont need to learn a new system. They wont even need to learn how to use a new form on their mail file.  Simple explain the syntax and you are done (syntax: Phone-Number@Your-Domain).

The cost of integrating smsPULSE into server applications is greatly reduced by writing simple documents into an smsPULSE database, or emailing it to another.  See the API here and the new HTTP API, here.
