Acision ports Vodafone UK to next-gen messaging

Acision has announced that has begun migration to it’s next-gen IP voice mesaging platofrm. As well as supporting existing messaging formats such as voicemail and SMS, newer formats such as mobile instant messaging will also be possible – and with good reason: next-gen messaging revenues have been predicted to be worth $12.7bn in W. Europe alone (Ovum).

Comment: we are likely to see a lot more of this going on in the background of operators – “IP” (an often maligned term, used to mean ‘anything that isn’t voice’) will become the bearer of choice for most mobile comms, including voice – it’s a slow process, but we are slowly getting there!
