Mobile Enablement
Catalyst have SMSC gateway connections to both Vodafone and Telecom. We use an open standards product [Kannel] as our Wap and SMS gateway application. Kannel provides the ‘grunt’ that allows us to broadcast messages as fast as their gateways can manage.
Open standards mobile development
Catalyst developed an application called Stimulus (open standards based) which manages incoming and outgoing SMS messages across both Telcos. Stimulus acts as traffic warden, directing messages to the correct application (eg: a promotions engine), and pumping out responses, or broadcast messages.
Catalyst developed and host many of the Wap services available on Telecom Wap Portal. Examples are News, entertainment, S12 and AB Wap Sites, TV & movies, AM Cup site, General Elections result, Ringtones and Picture messages. All were develop using open standards.
