O2 Netherlands has turned to mBalance and Sun to provide the TextPass Intelligent SMS Monitoring, Statistics and Routing solution it requires to deliver mobile anytime, anywhere services such as GSM, SMS, WAP, GPRS (and soon UMTS) to its clients.

According to Marien van Ouwerkerk, managing director and co-founder of mBalance, "We are very proud that O2 Netherlands has selected mBalance to prepare the O2 Netherlands-network for the new SMS challenges that GSM operators are facing today. Interactive SMS and TV voting applications are not only putting a lot of performance pressure on the SMS Centres, they also make monitoring and statistics even more important than for traditional SMS traffic. mBalance, he continues, is defining the new generation of SMS infrastructure technology. The TextPass routing and network querying solution is clearly setting an industry standard as the most comprehensive platform to support and enhance SMS text messaging services."

The mBalance solution will provide O2 Netherlands with both real-time SMS traffic statistics and allow instantaneous intervention to maintain high Quality of Service. The mBalance software products broaden the range of innovative SMS messaging services offered by O2 Netherlands while using Sun platforms to deliver this technology.
