HI Steve, yes it can, the only real latency is the requests to the aggregators. An example of its use is that you export a CSV file from you DB, upload it to their server, via HTTP or FTP and they will import it to there system and then broadcast the messages. Another way it that you send each request from your server to the API, although this will use your bandwidth.
The best thing is for you tell them what you want and they will build it... generally if it a reusable component they will build it for free as they are looking to expand their system. The more SMS you send the cheaper the cost per request becomes. HTH.
