**Message Exchange Bus (MXB)** ([Persian](/source/Persian_language): امکان اتصال متقابل) or **Interconnection** is an Iranian [cross-platform](/source/Cross-platform) [instant messaging](/source/Instant_messaging) (IM) technology developed by the [Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Iran](/source/Ministry_of_Information_and_Communications_Technology_of_Iran).[1] It enables connection among major Iranian messaging applications, including [Bale](/source/Bale_Messenger), [Eitaa](/source/Eitaa_Messenger), [Soroush](/source/Soroush_(messenger)), [Rubika](/source/Rubika), Gap, and [iGap](/source/IGap). This integration allows users who enable the feature to communicate across different platforms without the need for multiple accounts and access more than 100 million users.[2][3]

## Features

MXB offers a range of functionalities to enhance user experience:[4][5][6]

- **Cross-platform messaging**: Users can send and receive messages across various Iranian messaging apps, ensuring communication regardless of the platform used.[3][4]
- **File sharing**: The platform supports the exchange of files, including documents, images, and videos, between different messaging applications.[3][5]
- **Voice and video calls**: MXB facilitates voice and video calls across connected platforms.[3][5]
- **Secure and unified user experience**: By integrating multiple messaging services, MXB provides a secure connection.[3][5]

## Development and impact

The development of MXB was led by the [Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Iran](/source/Ministry_of_Information_and_Communications_Technology_of_Iran), aiming to establish a unified messaging ecosystem within Iran. MXB or interconnection of Iranian messaging apps, enables users of any participating app to communicate with users of other connected platforms.[7][8]

In the second phase, users will be able to participate in groups, channels, and [group calls](/source/Group_call), further enhancing the social and collaborative features of the network.[9]
