The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) was intended to provide a mechanism for the delivery of media-rich content such as pictures, audio clips and video clips to subscribers. It supports both the sending and receiving of this multimedia content by MMS-enabled mobile phones.
MMS is based on a store-and-forward strategy, so its use requires a messaging centre (MMSC).
TruTeq's MMSC offering is based on Open-source components and we only charge for the integration and bits and pieces of our telco framework. This makes our fully-featured system a fraction of the cost of other proprietary products. There is also no throughput license restrictions.
