Abstract
A system for providing content to a mobile terminal includes a source and a messaging gateway. The source is capable of reformatting content intended for receipt by a terminal, and transferring the reformatted content and an address of the terminal to the messaging gateway. The content can be reformatted in any of a number of different manners, including for example, a vectorized format such as the scalable vector graphics (SVG) format. In response to receiving the reformatted content and address of the terminal, the messaging gateway is capable of signaling the terminal, the signaling including information required to access the reformatted content. As such, the terminal can thereafter send a request to the messaging gateway in response to the messaging gateway signaling the destination client, and thereafter download the reformatted content from the messaging gateway, such as at least partially across a cellular network.
