CONXUS Communications

CONXUS Communications, Inc. was a United States advanced-messaging and narrowband-PCS carrier, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, that operated the Pocketalk voice-messaging and Pocketext text-messaging services built on Motorola's InFLEXion protocol. Formed in the mid-1990s from a group of one-way paging providers and backed by strategic and financial investors, the company offered wireless voice messaging, guaranteed message delivery, automatic acknowledgment of receipt, error correction, longer messages, and subscriber-originated replies across roughly ten U.S. markets. Conxus filed for bankruptcy protection in May 1999 and ceased network operations on August 27, 1999, affecting an estimated 80,000-100,000 subscribers. The company is defunct and publishes no API, developer portal, or SDK; this profile is retained as a historical portfolio record only.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
