Mobile infrastructure software company Airwide Solutions unveiled on Tuesday (7 March) Fusion, the next generation of its messaging architecture.

According to the company, the open architecture integrates legacy messaging networks with the core building blocks for IMS, and uses a component-based framework to eliminate the silos of traditional messaging architectures. Fusion utilizes web services and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) as a communications protocol and enables mobile operators to deliver services more quickly, combining existing and future messaging architectures and lowering the delivery cost-per-message, the company claims.

In addition, Airwide announced the AirOpen Router, the first product to implement Fusion's architectural design. The Linux-based AirOpen Router, available in four configurations, reportedly optimizes the messaging infrastructure by incorporating first delivery attempt, load-distribution and routing intelligence. The AirOpen router is designed to leverage application layer protocols such as SIP, as well as SMPP (short message peer-to-peer protocol) and MM1.

No pricing details were disclosed.
