Short Message peer to peer protocol (SMPP)

The Short Message Peer to Peer (SMPP) protocol is an open industry standard messaging protocol designed to simplify integration of data applications with wireless mobile networks such as GSM, TDMA, CDMA and PDC. The protocol is widely deployed in the mobile telecommunications industry. The SMPP protocol specification is freely available from the Documents section of this site. With SMPP you can as an application developer send data to mobile devices or to the other applications over SMSC (Short Messasge Service Centre).

The short message peer-to-peer protocol was initially designed and developed by an Irish company called Aldiscon and is now owned by LogicaCMG plc.

The short message peer-to-peer protocol is based on pairs of request/response packets or binary encoded packets PDUs (protocol data units) exchanged over OSI transport layer (TCP session) connections.
