MMS GatewayMMS Gateway is a device or service through which multimedia content can get to a recipient. It transmits MMS messages from and to MMS Centers and provides a smooth path for multimedia message delivery. MMS Gateway refers to an application that eliminates the differences between MMSC protocols. The companies with MMSC may apply different protocols which might not support a common MMSC protocol. Thus, when an MMS is sent from a Nokia phone to a CMG, it may not arrive because the two MMSC protocols cannot communicate with each other. In this case, a relay is needed called MMS Gateway which provides a channel between the two MMSCs and enables the MMS message to arrive without delay to the recipient's mobile handset. MMS Gateway works similarly as SMS gateway. The main differences are that an MMS Gateway connects MMS Centers and instead of SMS text messages, it transfers multimedia content. Multimedia content includes not only simple texts, but visual and audio contents, like pictures, graphics, music or video up to 300KB. The delivery of such form of information needs a well established system. The MMS Gateway is suitable to carry MMS content. It is developed to transmit multimedia messages not only wirelessly but also through the internet. MMS Gateway is computer based software. A GSM/GPRS modem or mobile phone can be connected to the PC on which the MMS Gateway is installed. The connection can be created by a serial cable, USB cable, Infrared cable or Bluetooth. This solution maintains an indirect connection between the MMS Gateway and the MMSC. On the other hand, an HTTP based connection requires only internet availability and the MMS Gateway. In this case the gateway and the MMSC connect directly. MMS Gateway is an essential part of MMS messaging. It facilitates the better transfer of multimedia content and solves the protocol compatibility between MMSCs. It opens new routes to mobile communication and marketing. It is a reliable and effective solution, which is developing constantly. It is not only the agent of multimedia messaging but a source as well. It provides interfaces from which MMS sending becomes fast and easy. Thus it is likely to become the basic communication device of the future.
