The HTTP-SMPP Bridge (HSB) is an on-premises platform that enables interoperability between HTTP and SMPP SMS infrastructures. The HTTP-SMPP Bridge (HSB) can be deployed at the edge of your SMPP-centric SMS gateway to provide a HTTP API for your customers to use your gateway.
Benefits
HSB delivers high performance, reliability and flexibility::
- SMPP compatibility: Support for SMPP v3.4 and SMPP v5.0.
- Protocol translation: Converts each HTTP POST request to an SMPP SubmitSM.
- Delivery receipt handling.
- High throughput: Capable of up to 2000 transactions per second.
Platforms, Services and Pricing
The HTTP-SMPP Bridge is typically installed as an on-premises Linux build—ideal for organisations requiring full control over data and infrastructure — but a cloud-hosted version is also available on request, offering the same feature set, performance and security standards.
On-premises platforms
Melrose Labs will supply you with the necessary binaries and technical support to fulfil your required configuration. You provide the host on which the binaries are installed. Support will be provided by Melrose Labs to assist you with the installation of the platform.
When ordering, select a RedHat (suitable for Centos, SuSE Linux, etc) or Debian (suitable for Ubuntu, Mint, etc) build.
