X-treme MMS Accelerator (XMA)

The X-treme MMS Accelerator (XMA) is an open and standards-based architecture that optimizes bulk message delivery for application-to-person services. By supporting all browser types, content mark up languages, including image and mark-up language translation, and all bearers for notification, XMA exposes the broadest range of devices to the broadest range of current and legacy content services. XMA supports all major Internet enabled mobile devices and has been tested for all major carrier network technologies.

XMA uniquely allows mobile network operators to generate new revenue growth from high volume, perishable, bulk multimedia messages by reliably sending large volumes of application-to-person (A2P) bulk Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) notifications from Value Added Service Providers (VASPs) to end-user subscribers. MNOs can cost-effectively deal with the delivery of large volumes of perishable MMS content with XMA. XMA is a reliable, high performance software product that can be used to bypass existing MMSC infrastructure incapable of handling bulk messaging.

• Seamless integration into existing MMS environment
• No re-provisioning of subscribers, handsets, VASPs, content providers, or other network elements
• Content conversion and storage for bulk perishable deliveries to multiple device types
• High availability (five 9s) based on proven, deployed gateway software
• Reliable process management for failure restart and fail over
• High message throughput handling
• Proven linear scalability and footprint reduction
• Deployment on multiple OS platforms including HP-UX 11i, Solaris 9, Linux kernel 2.4

A typical XMA deployment to support bulk A2P messaging is illustrated in the following diagram.
