Open-source Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) gateway. It also functions as an SMS gateway, allowing users to send SMS messages to mobile operators using the SMPP protocol. The project was founded in 1999 by Wapit Ltd. – after the company was dissolved, the Kannel Group took over custody of the project. The server has five main components: bearerbox, which delivers messages to the operator; smsbox, which sends SMS messages via HTTP; wapbox, which displays WML pages; sqlbox, which sends SMS by writing to the MySQL database; and opensmppbox, which sends and receives messages via SMPP.
Reducing banks' expenditures by sending information to mobile phones not via SMS but through a mobile Internet connection using push notifications. iOS, Android and Windows Phone are all supported. SMS messages are also used when a push notification can't be sent for technical reasons.
