Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has signed a multi-year deal with Syniverse to implement the latter’s SMS interoperability solution.

Syniverse’s SMS interoperability solution will enable BSNL to establish interworking relationships with other mobile network operators using just a single network configuration, testing process, financial arrangement and contract. With the deployment of Syniverse’s SMS interoperability solution, new SMS destinations automatically become available as they connect to the Syniverse SMS Hub, either directly or through peering agreements. The routing of SMS messages also includes mobile number portability and routing capabilities for networks such as GSM, code division multiple access and time division multiple access networks.
