RCS was  always the right idea. Now it's the

right time.

Apple made RCS
your biggest A2P Opportunity

RCS promised to be "SMS 2.0"—rich messaging with read receipts, typing indicators, high-res media, and verified senders. The technology was ready. The business case was clear.

The problem was reach. With Apple sitting out, operators couldn't justify the investment for Android-only deployment. Enterprises couldn't build campaigns that excluded half their customers.

Apple's adoption of RCS changes that equation completely. For the first time, operators can offer a cross-platform business messaging solution that competes with WhatsApp, iMessage, and other OTT platforms—but runs through your infrastructure.

"Until Apple came into play, we had proprietary solutions. But to reach the wider scale of devices, we had to standardize. That happened recently—and now we can finally scale RCS."

The Infrastructure Requirement

RCS on iOS requires an Entitlement Server. Here's why.

Apple certification compliance

Apple has specific requirements for RCS provisioning. Your entitlement infrastructure must meet them—and certification windows are time-limited.

Secure user authentication

RCS requires SIM-based authentication to verify users. The Entitlement Server provides the root of trust that enables secure messaging.

Cross-Ecosystem Provisioning

You need to provision RCS capabilities to both iOS and Android devices seamlessly. That means pre-integration with both Apple and Google.

Differentiated Service Enablement

Not all subscribers get the same features. The Entitlement Server lets you provision RCS based on plan tier, enabling premium upsells.
