A wireless mobility services platform () has a high-speed network interconnecting an operations and maintenance processor () for performing platform administration and management functions, a network access processor for handling signalling traffic, and a database server () comprising a memory subscriber database distributed across hardware platforms according to a fault-tolerant redundancy scheme. A platform software layer () comprising common communication and database access functions is hosted on the operations and maintenance processor, the network access processor, and on the database server. A signal relay layer () is hosted on the network access processor.

A short message gateway comprises a gateway function (SMGF) and programs in an HLR or a home network (IMT-2000). It does not have any physical impact on a foreign (PDC) network, and it converts short messages communicated between the home and foreign networks. The gateway function (SMGF) primarily inter-operates with an HLR and an SMSC of the home network, the GMSC providing the link to the foreign network. The gateway allows communication in a wide variety of scenarios for communication with subscribers in the home and foreign networks and roaming subscribers from one to the other.
