SNPP is a simple way for delivering wireless messages, both one and two-way, to appropriate receiving devices such as pagers and cellular phones. In its simplest form, SNPP provides a simple way to implement a “shim” between the Internet and a TAP/IXO paging terminal. In a level 3 form, it receiving end-to-end acknowledgments and replies from a two-way messaging device such as ReFLEX units. Gateways supporting this protocol have been in use for well over a year at several commercial companies such as Sprint, American Messaging, and private businesses as well. A list of companies that currently have SNPP Gateways can be found here. In order to use SNPP you must have access to the Internet by a dial-up connection or through a LAN over a high speed Internet connection.
WCTP is a simple way for delivering wireless messages, both one and two-way, to appropriate receiving devices such as pagers and cellular phones. In its simplest form, WCTP provides a simple way to implement a “shim” between the Internet and a TAP/IXO paging terminal. Gateways supporting this protocol are now emerging and several commercial companies such as American Messaging and Arch Wireless have their gateways in place. More companies are expected to follow soon. A list of companies that currently have WCTP Gateways can be found here. In order to use WCTP you must have access to the Internet by a dial-up connection or through a LAN over a high speed Internet connection. WCTP uses xml over http so you do not have to insure a port is open for out bound connection like you do with SNPP. Air Messenger supports http and https for secure connections.

Although SNPP or WCTP is the preferred method for Internet Paging do to the direct communications between your computer and the carriers gateway, it is not used as much and not many carriers support this protocol yet. Most of our products supports Windows Messaging and SMTP with the ability to use MX Record lookups. It is recommended that you try to use MX record lookup first by leaving the SMTP Server field empty.
