Considering:
- (a) that wireless data networks are converging, and will
continue to converge, on Internet Protocol (IP);
- (b) that two-way paging is the dominant application for
wide-area wireless networks;
- (c) that a set of open protocols is required to enable the
convergence of the Two-Way Paging industry and the Internet
E-Mail industry;
- (d) that existing Internet e-mail protocols do not provide the
bandwidth efficiency required for wireless applications;
- (e) that existing Internet e-mail protocols do not support the
"push" model for delivery of time-critical messages,
Efficient Mail Submission & Delivery (EMSD) has been designed to
enable the convergence of IP-based Two-Way Paging, and Internet
E-Mail. EMSD is an open, efficient, Internet messaging protocol that
is highly optimized for short messages.
EMSD.org is an open organization for the development and maintenance
of the EMSD protocol. EMSD.org also facilitates interoperability
testing among implementations of EMSD, and promotes the use of products
and services based on EMSD.
EMSD is intended to be a patent-free protocol. To this end, EMSD.org
fully subscribes to the patent-free principles and procedures of the
