Mobile Conferencing

Imagine sending a SMS and starting a dial out conference. That in essence is Mobile Conferencing. Often we need a quick meeting with a few people on the fly. There is no time for sending an invitation with the conference bridge credentials etc. The XOP Networks Mobile Conferencing Application is designed to do just that. The XOP Networks USN platform supports SMPP3.4 protocol for interfacing with external SMSCs. This capability allows the USN to support both Mobile Originating (MO) and Mobile Terminating (MT) traffic. Therefore a subscriber can simply send a SMS text message to the USN. The subject area of the SMS contains information about the people you want to have conference with. The USN parses the message and then dials out to the numbers associated with names in the SMS text message. As recipients pick up their phones, they are placed into a conference with the subscriber.
