SMS Router
CBOSSsmsRouter is designed to integrate several SMSCs, and provide connection with external systems, such as Email servers, call centers, Web applications, service and content platforms. CBOSSsmsRouter creates a single SMS environment, synchronizing SMS services in different operator’s subnetworks, and allows fast deployment and update of SMS services. Service providers will benefit from a single entry point of service provisioning to subscribers of several telecom operators.
System Operation
Functionalities
- Integration of several SMSCs into a single technological environment
Routing between SMSCs is performed over TCP/IP. This considerably reduces traffic cost compared to traditional SS7 channels.
- Modifiable SMS parameters (A number, B number, delivery time, etc.)
- Connection to external systems. E.g., Email servers (over POP3 and SMTP), call centers and Web applications (XML-RPC and HTTP), content and service plat-forms, etc.
- Unified SMS services via a single entry point
An operator running multiple regional networks can connect service providers to the main CBOSSsmsRouter, making new services available to all the subscribers.
Moreover, content and service providers can integrate several operators' resources, to maximize the subscriber base.
- Single rating schemes
CBOSSsmsRouter collects information on traffic exchange between connected nodes, enabling unified rating.
- Collection and storage of provided service data in the database
Benefits
- Fast time to market
New SMS service requires only to configure forwarding from regional SMSCs to CBOSSsmsRouter.
- Convenient service management
Centralized storage of services facilitates administration and service update, and increases service quality and reliability.
- Cost-effective integration of regional networks
CBOSSsmsRouter allows to avoid additional expensive SS7 traffic. SMS applica-tions, SMSCs and CBOSSsmsRouter communicate over SMPP.
- Increased overall network performance
Flexible routing rules allow CBOSSsmsRouter to efficiently distribute load between different SMS Centers.
- Simple implementation
CBOSSsmsRouter deployment does not require any business process modifica-tion.
