The robust, scalable and highly efficient mprodigy communications stack is available as a communications API option to mpartners. This allows application developers to utilise the mprodigy communications stack for use with their own application, leveraging its enterprise-level features. These include store-and-forward two-way messaging over GPRS, wireless LAN and Ethernet networks and seamless switching between available networks without user intervention; favouring least cost and guaranteeing data integrity and delivery.
The complexities of writing device applications are often related to the unreliable nature of communications with the back-end systems. By utilising the mprodigy Communications API application developers can alleviate the complexities and reduce cost and risk.
The mprodigy Communications API can be used to:
- Overcome the problems associated with poor network availability
- Minimise the effects of Latency (Different paths through network)
- Minimises lost or duplicate packets
- Cope with changing IP Addresses
- Ensure that all communications get from source to destination in a secure and reliable manner
- Ensure that communications are sent in an efficient and cost-effective manner and that communications always take place over the appropriate network
It also provides:
- A cost effective and reliable communications link between mobile devices and back office servers (retry mechanism, Duplicate Message Detection, In Sequence Delivery, Server Push, Destination Validation, Positive Acknowledgement, Retransmission, UDP based & Cost Optimised, Compressed Batches, Block Protocol, always attempts to send full Block)
- Substantial mobile communications cost savings with existing customers quoting reductions of up to 75%
- A proven architecture - The mprodigy communications API is used by mprodigy; its scalability, reliability and resilience are proven by many large-scale deployments
- Store-and-forward two-way messaging over GPRS, wireless LAN and Ethernet networks
- Seamless switching between available networks without any user intervention - favouring least cost
- Guaranteed data integrity and delivery
- Best-in-class mobile communications without major in-house development
