A full SMSC is only needed by MNOs, MVNOs and PSTN-operators (FSMSC).
There a hundred of factors you need to consider when you "buy" a
SMSC. Normally for core network elements you send a request for
proposal to some dozen manufacturers. To create a good RFP you need a
lot of knowledge about the market and a ton of forecasts, evaluations
and so on. And experts who can create this forecasts normaly also know
the manufacturers. So maybe to you want to get a consultant to support
you (The SMSC will surely cost you some hundred-thousand dollar, so it
is a good idea to spent some thousands on someone to support you).
But to answer your question: Alcatel-Lucent, LogicaCMG and Nokia are
the most common SMSCs around, other vendors like Symsoft or Materna
produce interessting solutions if you need some special features.
Anyway it is a good idea to ask the keyaccount manager of your HLR
which SMSC he recommends.

LogicaCMG is used by various operators around the world, but I guess it is a
operator-focused solution, so its pricing may be high.

Thanks Falko,
I am doing that for a PSTN operator, who is about to be slaughtered by
huawei smsc license limit of 10sms per second.
