CM.com, onlangs en het nieuws como nieuwe hoofdsponsor van Circuit Zandvoort, laat weten samen se reunió con Vodafone Rich Communication Services (RCS) te gaan aanbieden en Nederland. Said na een eerdere succesvolle uitrol en Duitsland.
RCS es un proveedor de servicios de mensajería instantánea, software de seguridad basado en funciones y basado en seguridad. A successor has been a long time coming, because with the rise of mobile internet, numerous parties have presented themselves as alternatives through IP-based apps - from BlackBerry's Ping to current favorites including WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat. The real es is therefore what a new standard from network providers can add to the offer.
Verified profile
CM.com and Vodafone partly respond to that manufacturer by focusing the service explicitly on companies. With RCS, companies can ensure themselves of a so-called Perfil verificado, so that the recipient - according to the press release - does not have to worry that unauthorized persons abuse the service. Judging by the enormous increase in social engineering in phishing fraud, for example via WhatsApp since the start of the corona crisis in March of this year, we can imagine that this is a piece of functionality that organizations will be interested in.

Furthermore, RCS offers similar enrichment of text messages as the well-known clients de mensajería instantánea - for example, pictures and buttons can be added. Se reunieron los últimas tiempos de selection menu and interaction options can be offered to users and, for example, a payment is made.
1.2 Smartphones Billion - But Not Apple
For the time being, RCS is supported by 1,2 billion smartphones in the market - which means that a considerably larger part cannot yet handle it. According to Juniper Research, that number will have increased to 2025 mil millones by 3.9. A major obstacle to adoption at the moment is that while RCS is supported in Android devices with a recent (since 2019) version of the Google Messages app, it does not yet work on iPhones. And the business market is the iPhone / Android ratio about 50-50, debido al éxito the RCS adoption is falling with support and iOS. That's a discussion that's been going on for quite some time - a quick search shows that Apple was "talking" about adding RCS support back in January 2019, but little seems to have changed since then. The la recente actualización de iOS 14 does not contain it either. And in any case, part of the reason is simple: Apple prefers not to use applications using standards that it has not developed itself and over which it therefore does not have full control over it. Only recently has it been possible for iOS devices to set a different default browser - an alternative to iMessage has so far been firmly ruled out by Apple. Especially since the RCS cart has been pulled by Google since 2018, the lack of enthusiasm for this specific alternative is understandable.
Nog geen end-to-end encryption
Another argument put forward is also substantively valid: iMessage offers Apple users mutual encryption de extremo a extremo - no one can 'read' messages. Whatsapp offers similar featureity (and for example Signal too), but many y otros clientes de mensajería populares do not, for example Facebook Messenger. En teoría, However, RCS podría seguir sintonizando el cifrado de extremo a extremo. Rumors have been circulating since May of this year that Google will add E2EE to RCS, but that is not yet the case. When this feature is added, it will become a more viable alternative to iMessage (or, more realistically, it will become more likely that Google will enter into a cross-compatibility agreement with Apple, similar to hearba messer messer alserder messer o rc be more interesting when the full chain from user to user es Encrypted.
