SMPP stands for Short Message Peer-to-Peer. It is a protocol used in the telecommunications industry for the exchange of SMS messages between different entities, such as Short Message Service Centers (SMSCs), mobile network operators, and messaging applications.

In contrast to utilizing the REST API, this section explores the utilization of SMPP to access IntouchSMS APIs. SMPP proves to be a more suitable choice for handling high volumes of traffic and offers advantages over the HTTP API.

It boasts faster message transmission, operates with minimal latency, and adheres to standardized protocols for seamless global interconnectivity. By leveraging SMPP, users can efficiently manage large-scale messaging requirements while maintaining optimal performance.

To successfully implement SMPP access, it is essential to possess a thorough understanding of this standard telecommunications protocol. It is crucial to consider the technical capabilities and resources available within your organization before opting for an SMPP integration.

The purpose of SMPP is to provide a standardized and efficient method for sending and receiving SMS messages, allowing for seamless communication between various systems and enabling the delivery of text messages to mobile devices.

Implementing SMPP requires expertise and knowledge in handling the intricacies of this protocol, ensuring seamless integration and efficient utilization of its features. Therefore, it is recommended to assess your organization's technical readiness and resources before proceeding with an SMPP implementation.

ItecPay provides this service to facilitate seamless integration with new carriers and streamline the experience for customers who already have an existing SMPP implementation.

Transaction Rate, Processing Speed, Messages Handled Per Second, Performance Metric.

SMS Processing Rate refers to the maximum number of messages that can be efficiently processed by the SMPP connection without compromising the quality of service.

During the onboarding process, we customize the TPS (Throughput per Second) according to each customer's specific needs. In general, when connected to IntouchSMS SMPP servers, you can typically submit up to 60 messages per second for each bind. However, it is recommended to consult your account manager to determine the exact TPS allocation based on your specific requirements.
