Saves Time and Money
A full-featured vGATE SIM Server for centralized SIM card storage
and management, the vGATE ends time consuming travel to replace SIM
cards and theft of SIM cards that have been left in unattended GSM
gateways.
The vGATE delivers dynamically allocated, virtual SIM card
accessibility over the Internet from a central SIM card maintenance
center within distributed mobile GSM and 3G UMTS networks.
Every SIM card from the card pool can be made available to each
mobile channel, thereby assuring that the most attractive tariff
option is used throughout your mobile-gateway network.
Versatile Management
The vGATE indicates the status of every SIM card and you can
activate, deactivate and assign each card to a gateway location. You
can also supervise credit limits for prepaid cards and assign SIM
cards with favorable tariff schemes.
Using scripts for daily operation, you can easily perform recurring
tasks such as SIM property changes. Real-time alarm signaling allows
you to react immediately and minimize loss of traffic.
Blocked cards can be detected automatically and substituted. Prepaid
accounts can be reloaded automatically.
Comprehensive statistics provide information about the system's
capacity and the channel utilization (ASR), thereby providing the
means for efficient traffic management and full cost control.
Profit from Power
The vGATE control unit can manage a virtually unlimited number of
SIM cards. Actual implementations have been realized with up to 6000
active SIM cards in 10 vGATE SIM units, each fully equipped with 600
SIM cards.
The vGATE consists of one Windows-based database server control unit
and at least one SIM unit for up to 10 SIM card carriers, each
carrier having a capacity of up to 60 SIM cards.
Our Network Management System can optionally be installed on the
control unit, thereby integrating the TELES maintenance platform
with SIM card management on a single server. This option does not
require additional hardware or additional interfaces.
