The power behind text messaging continues to play a crucial role in mobile evolution
The mobile phone industry is celebrating the 15th birthday of the Short Message Service Centre (SMSC), the principal application behind text messaging first brought to market by Acision in 1992. The first ever SMSC was introduced as a product designed primarily to deal with the demands and improve reliability of a developing mobile industry, and in that year the first of many deals was signed with Telenor, one of Europe’s leading network operators.
