Nuntium

Nuntium is a set of services and clients that allow anyone to build SMS-based applications with uses that range from simple modem-based needs to countrywide deployments integrated with wireless operators. It is used every day in mission-critical applications including ministries of health or in crises such as in Haiti.

Why Use Nuntium?

Focus your efforts on the uniqueness of your application, let Nuntium take it further.

Text message-based applications are proven to be adequate in low-resource settings. But not everyone needs to re-build the messaging infrastructure required to take applications to scale. Nuntium takes care of delivering and dispatching messages in scenarios common to humanitarian work, and has a simple API that you can use across multiple languages and platforms.

InSTEDD’s technologies such as GeoChat and Riff exchange thousands of messages for mission-critical applications using Nuntium. Nuntium is also integrated with OpenMRS and other humanitarian applications. Learn about Nuntium’s features and contact us if you are a mobile operator looking to expand your services into mHealth and development applications.

How Does It Work?

Nuntium dispatches messages reliably to and from different sources: from SMS aggregators such as Clickatell, direct connections with wireless operators, to GSM modems and Skype via a downloadable local gateway program that runs on any computer. This allows you to start small and grow the scale of your application without changing its core code. It also integrates email and twitter, and takes care of reliable queuing, security, retries, and throttling.
