#1 WCTP Protocol

[K9 Barry]

What’s the difference between SNPP and WCTP?
SNPP, or Simple Network Paging Protocol, is one of the original ways established to connect real-time to our network. This protocol relies on "telnet" to send messages. While SNPP does provide confirmation that our network has received your message, it does not provide confirmation of delivery down to the 2-way device, and it does not support security.

WCTP, or Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol, was designed for the secure transmission of alphanumeric and binary messages from automated, server-based systems to and from 2-way devices.

Using WCTP requires that all messaging operations be “well-formed” and “valid” as defined by the XML specifications of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and adhere to the Data Type Definition (DTD) file specified by American Messaging.

With the modular setup of this program the addition of WCTP protocol looks very good.
