Calgary, Alberta, March 27, 2014 - GINSMS Inc. (TSXV: GOK) (“GINSMS”) announces that GIN International Limited (“GIN”), a 100% owned subsidiary of GINSMS based in Hong Kong, has officially launched its cloud-based application-to-person (“A2P”) SMS service today.
The service allows the termination of SMS to mobile subscribers of more than 100 mobile operators globally. This is achieved through partnerships with service providers and direct connections with mobile operators globally. GIN’s close working relationships with mobile operators in China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia puts it in a good position to become a leading provider of A2P SMS service in Asia.
Through the provision of the A2P SMS service via cloud, GIN enables mobile application developers, SMS gateways, enterprises and financial institutions to deliver SMS worldwide without any upfront capital investment through the use of GIN’s rich application programming interface (“API”).
Mobile application developers use A2P SMS service to deliver one-time-passwords (“OTP”) for authentication of over-the-top (“OTT”) mobile applications, in-app purchase confirmations or promotion of latest game releases. Enterprises and financial institutions use the A2P service in the areas of mobile marketing, mobile transactions, security, customer relationship management (“CRM”) and enterprise resource planning (“ERP”).
Juniper Research predicts that in 2016, revenue from A2P SMS will overtake that of person-toperson (“P2P”) SMS as the mobile messaging ecosystem shifts from communication between individuals to sending and receiving service-enabling messages.
"We are excited to launch the cloud-based A2P SMS service and are committed to become the preferred service provider in Asia. Asia is home to more than 2.5 billion mobile subscribers and the growth of A2P SMS is simply amazing. Being situated in Hong Kong and having direct connections to mobile operators in Hong Kong and China, GIN is well positioned to ride the wave and serve the ever increasing needs of customers worldwide," said Derrick Ong, Senior Vice President of GINSMS’ mobile messaging unit.
