1. A system for interoperability between a first network communicating according to a first protocol and a second network communicating according to a second protocol, the system comprising:

  • a Home Location Register (HLR) Proxy for intercepting SRI_For_SM requests sent from a SMSC in a first network intended for a HLR in a second network and returning to the SMSC a response having address information;

    a Message Switching Center (MSC) Proxy associated with the address information returned to the SMSC and configured for receiving a message from the SMSC;

    an adapter configured to normalize a first communication received from the first network into a network-independent format;

    a bridge comprising;

    an application layer comprising logic for determining a second communication valid for the second network; and

    a component layer having services with associated functionality and accessible to the application layer,wherein the application bridge is configured to inspect the normalized first communication and to generate a second communication for the second network using one or more components based on the normalized first communication; and

    one or more messaging emulators for sending the second communication to the second network
