The more apps, content, location-based services, videochat and other services we get on our smartphones, the less our appetite for SMS is sated.
Sybase 365 is a SMS messaging hub supporting multiple carriers. They just reached 1 trillion messages.
One trillion messages is equivalent to processing approximately 32,000 messages per second for every second of one year. With the phenomenal global growth of mobile messaging, Sybase 365 claims that it is rapidly accelerating beyond the 1 trillion milestone, as it currently processes more than 1.5 billion mobile messages per day.
While it took eight years to get to 1 trillion messages, based on current and expected traffic growth, Sybase 365 should hit the next trillion messages in 2012.
No other communication medium has the ability to reach more people than SMS, according to Sybase 365.
