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.
