The Wireless Messaging System Overview
The WMS, the Motorola two-way advanced messaging solution, is part of the FLEX family
of protocols. FLEX is the high-speed messaging protocol that is now the standard protocol in
the one-way messaging industry. The ReFLEX messaging protocol includes a reverse
channel to support two-way messaging. The InFLEXion system is a higher speed and more
robust two-way voice and data messaging protocol.
With small, lightweight, low-power subscriber communicators, ReFLEX- and
InFLEXion-based services offer many advantages:
• High transmission speeds, up to 6400 bits per second (bps) for more than
600,000 numeric communicators per channel
• High resistance to signal fading
• Two-way messaging including ReFLEX messaging protocol (text messaging), InFLEXion
messaging protocol (voice messaging), message receipt acknowledgment, and message
retransmission
• Alters speed to match the system daily traffic pattern
• Extended communicator battery life
The Wireless Messaging System consists of the following systems (see Figure 2-1):
• The Wireless Message Gateway (WMG) -Administrator!
• The RF-Conductor! (RF-C!) controller
• The Choreographer! network manager
• The RF-B! transmitter controller
• The RF-Orchestra! (RF-O!) paging station
• The RF-Audience! (RF-A!) receiver
• Communicators
