SMPP Client
An SMPP Client connection is a connection you use to connect your system to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) or independent SMS Service Providers over the Internet. This is the connection you need to send your SMS messages to the mobile network. This connection uses the SMPP protocol which was invented for delivering short messages. An SMPP client connection can operate over a secure network link (TLS/TCP/IP), or over an standard unencrypted link (TCP/IP).
