The SmsRouter service is used for routing messages based on rules to appropriate clients. It is part of the Microsoft Windows SMS Router Service, which enables a mobile broadband device's Short Message Service (SMS) capabilities.
The SmsRouter service interacts with the WwanSvc service to handle sending and receiving SMS messages. It also supports the WinRT SMS API, which allows applications to access the SMS functionality of the device.
The SmsRouter service is not essential for the system and can be disabled if not needed. However, disabling it may affect the SMS functionality of the device and some applications that rely on it.
