Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) programming for Cellular One of East Texas (a local wireless provider that tries to fulfill the needs of those who live in East Texas) was completed by SAMSA. Cellular One of East Texas has its headquarters in Lufkin, Texas and supplies its services to areas such as Angelina, Nacogdoches, Cherokee, Sabine, San Augustine, Panola, Rusk and Shelby Counties. The Cellular One network of wireless providers aims at providing communication services for people to be able to stay in touch with those who are the most important in their lives.
Solutions that allowed for text messages to be sent by people to their cell phone customers, as well as others that could host the application over a virtual private network (VPN) connection for added security, were the ones that Cellular One of East Texas looked for. In consequence, the company decided to choose the services of SAMSA. SAMSA was the one chosen because its technical expertise is superior, according to Chris Pease, Technical Services Manager of Cellular One of East Texas. The project was started near the end of 2006 and SAMSA completed it in February 2007. Cellular One of East Texas subscribers are now able to send SMPP text messages, that are also confirmed by a message sent page. Users can send messages via a VPN tunnel that is established between SAMSA and Ericsson servers. The SAMSA facility is the one that hosts the SMPP page.
Pease stated: "SAMSA has been great to work with. They are very responsive to our requests and have produced excellent results. SAMSA is an extremely responsive and technically savvy group. I would recommend them to others for web services."In addition to others, current promotions, online shopping, ringtones, viewing and paying bills online are also included on the Cellular One of East Texas' website. Sites and services adjusted to local residents are continuously added by Cellular One of East Texas in order to improve the quality of its network.
