TynTec is a mobile messaging operator, offering enterprise-quality SMS services to mobile network operators, enterprises, internet companies and mobile services providers. The company uses its unique technical infrastructure to deliver high-quality, advanced mobile messaging services.

TynTec differs from traditional SMS providers because the company can offer truly operator-level services. The company has multiple points of access into the deep level (SS7) global mobile network and its own, proprietary SMS Centre (SMS-C). This gives it the same messaging capabilities as a mobile network operator and enables it to offer greater speed, reliability and measurability than standard messaging services. As well as guaranteed delivery in less than 15 seconds, TynTec can also provide full delivery receipts and a guarantee of control and security of the message direct to the handset.

Because of the unique way in which TynTec manages mobile messaging transmission, the company is leading the industry in the provision of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for SMS. By committing to strict parameters on reliability, throughput, uptime and speed, TynTec can offer clients a mobile messaging technology that can be relied upon in truly mission critical environments. TynTec’s technology, combined with its SLAs, upgrades messages to a higher level than traditional ‘consumer’ SMS, leveraging SMS to be used in enterprise applications.

The company works with operators such as Manx Telecom (Isle of Man, UK), Digicel (Jamaica), Alands Mobiltelefon (Finland) and CTM Macau (China) to give it multiple points of SS7 connectivity. This not only ensures that TynTec can offer connection into more than 150 countries, but also means that it has multiple points of back-up in case of the failure of a single node.

TynTec was founded in 2002 and has offices in the UK, Germany and Singapore. Customers include O2, Lufthansa Systems, Accenture, British Airways, Unilever and Skype.
