Abstract

A wireless Internet gateway which bridges the gap between the Internet and wireless devices, e.g., via a short message service center (SMSC). The disclosed wireless Internet gateway provides a portal to SMPP, HTTP, TNPP, or other protocol messages using Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) techniques. Application servers (e.g., in communication with the Internet or an Intranet) insert RMI objects containing messages in a message queue handler of the wireless Internet gateway. The RMI objects are queued and passed either directly to a destination delivery handler (e.g., SMPP, SMTP, HTTP or TNPP protocol handler), or passed through a generic destination interface to provide an additional layer of abstraction to simplify development of the support of other destination protocols. An SMTP handler may be integrated into the wireless Internet gateway to provide direct communication of SMTP protocol messages (i.e., e-mail) to the message queue.
