It’s no secret that Internet Telephony Service Providers need to provide the best rates on the best local mobile networks; that’s how they get customers and how they keep them, after all. Although that does beg the question: how can they truly provide the best services without charging exorbitant rates? Well, there are a variety of ways they can do that. According to iQsim, the most important thing is to make the absolute most possible out of SIM cards.
The IRON Suite SIM Server technology from iQsim can help with both SIM card maximization and Call Termination costs. It provides a solution that remotely allocates SIM cards to GSM Gateways, while selecting the most appropriate ones according to criteria to ensure they’re optimized.
The IRON Suite provides several services that can help SIM routing, allocation, control, and protection. The Call Manager, for instance, manages call admission and SIM Routing, adding value-added functions to one’s GSM gateways department. This centralizes key routing decisions, using information from the SIM manager to determine the best routing.
There’s also the SIM Manager, which handles allocation, control, and protection of SIM cards. It uses advanced criteria to properly select and rotate through the cards, keeping all of them safe and properly managed. All traffic is simulated proportionally to SIM usage automatically, letting it run properly without overtaxing anything.
SMS routing isn’t left out, though, as the SMS Manager on the Iron Suite server handles that quite nicely. It uses its standard SMPP API to provide third-party SMS applications an external API, and controls the SMS admissions to provide them with the best SIM, along with sent and delivery notifications to ensure the messages are sent properly.
The goal of the IRON Suite is to make use of absolutely everything that SIM cards have to offer. This allows for competitive route pricing at a nice profit margin, without slowing down the lines or networks. This can help provide the highest quality services at the most affordable prices, which ITSPs need to remain competitive. While it takes more than just the right SIM cards being used properly to provide a truly great local mobile network, there’s no denying it’s a very important part of the process.
