Introduction
There are several benefits of using SMS technology in your
corporate communication. SMS messages are well-known and widely used all over
the world. Therefore sending an SMS message to the other part of the world is
not a problem today. In this way there are several reasons to setup a system
that is based on SMS technology in your company. You can keep in touch with
employees, customers, business partners within and outside your company and
even outside of your country. Though you have to pay attention to the SMS gateway
that will be implemented as it will be the basis of your system and it needs
to provide high capacity and performance.
To add SMS functionality to your corporate IT environment you need a reliable
and stable SMS gateway software.
This software makes it possible to send and
receive SMS messages in your corporate IT system. Though in larger companies
several further demands can occur. It is not enough to operate an SMS gateway
to provide SMS communication but they want a powerful SMS gateway with excellent
functions. In successful companies there is an urgent need to be efficient,
competitive and up-to-date. These features can be increased if your performance
is better than your competitors. In this article you can read about the
performance of SMS gateways.
Performance of SMS gateway software applications
As it was mentioned above the performance of an SMS gateway is a very important
issue. If you want to build a system which is able to operate with large number
of messages you need to consider the capacity of the system.
In large companies a huge number of SMS messages needs to be transmitted in a
second. To achieve this efficiency you need a software with a high performance.
In case of SMS gateways, performance means that how many messages they can
transmit in a second. Therefore, corporate IT systems can be various according
to their demands for capacity.
There is a wide range of corporate demands from 2-3
messages per
week to hundreds of messages per seconds. It is important that all of these
demands need to be satisfied. Several problems can occur if you are not able to
operate with large numbers of messages when it is necessary. For example, if
lots of customers need some information at the same time but your system is
too busy; or you want to send your promotion to all of your partners in time
without delay but your IT system can send just few messages per seconds.
Also if you have built a workflow management system but you cannot inform your
employees in time about their tasks and there are chaos in the company, etc.
There is no end of such problems but a powerful SMS gateway can solve the
critical issues by its ability to send hundreds of messages per seconds.
If you want to build a corporate IT system it is important to define the
demanded take-over capacity of messages. The nature of the transition
of messages also needs to be considered during designing.
After you define these properties you can go on with the designing process.
On the basis of these properties you can define the sending out capacity.
In practice if you do not plan to operate with more than 4000 messages per
day then the GSM modem solutions are proper
for you.
The licenses with lower capacity (licenses from 5 MPM to 30 MPM (MPM=Message
per Minute)) can also be well used in these cases. If you want to operate with
large numbers of messages then you need to connect to the SMSC (SMS Center) of
the mobile service provider. This connection is a direct one over the Internet
(IP SMS). You also need to choose a license with
larger capacity (from 1 MPS to 50 MPS (MPS=Message per Second)). If you want to
send lots of messages within a very short period of time, you also need
to follow the steps of Internet connection which was mentioned previously.
Ozeki NG SMS Gateway
The limit of the performance of SMS gateways is 300-500
SMS/second in practice. This limit depends on the mobile service provider.
So the ability of the provider to take over messages, or the available bandwidth
defines this limit. But the hardware which runs the SMS
gateway or the system which generates the messages is also important in the
performance of gateways. The architecture of Ozeki
NG SMS Gateway has been designed to be able to achieve this functional limit.
This ability makes this gateway exceptional on the market as no other gateway
software is able to reach this limit (500 SMS/sec).
Moreover, it cannot be a problem for Ozeki NG SMS Gateway if there is a
temporary exceed in capacity in case of incoming or outgoing messages.
Outgoing SMS messages wait for being sent in the waiting queues of the gateway.
While incoming SMS messages are stored by the SMSC of the mobile service provider
until the corporate IT system takes them over.
