Rich interfaces, advanced routing and VAS enablersThe SMS Center enables transmission of SMS transactions between the SS7 based network elements and IP based applications.
The SS7 interfaces enable deep integration with the SS7 network and transmission of SMS via Message Signal Units (MSU). The rich IP interfaces allow exchange of SMS and data with IP based applications.
The configuration of the interfaces and the day-to-day operations are managed via a web based administration interface.
Features
• Scalable (from 20 to 2000 SMS TPS). This enables starting up with low costs and the required capacity and to upgrade as need occurs.
• Full SS7 interfaces (E1 and SIGTRAN). This enables flexibility in the SS7 integration, high transmission capacity and MSU interaction with the SS7 network (cost optimization).
• Rich IP interfaces (SMPP, HTTP, API). This enables interaction with third party applications regarding, SMS, HLR info, VMN data, and campaign management.
• Advanced routing facilities (Source and destination based routing, routing based on GT and IMSI). This enables high flexibility in the routing of MAP operations and SMS.
• Web based interface for SMS and voice broadcasting. This enables planning, execution and follow up of bulk SMS and outbound dialling campaigns (integration with Asterisk needed).
• Web based administration interface (configuration, status, add ons). This enables configuration of SS7 and IP based connections as well as monitoring and optimization of operations.
• Add ons for extra functionality (Virtual Mobile Number, SMS home routing, CDRs for billing, Number Portability (MNP), HLR Lookup and cache, Mobile Availability Monitor, SpamFiltering and Welcome SMS for Roamers. This enables usage of network intelligence in IP applications.
