Business Challenge
- Modern mobile and financial services require smart (SIM) card-side software installation.
- In case of GSM networks, the delivery of SIM card applications is performed over the SMS traffic, standardized in the scope of the SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer) protocol.
- Any massive deployment campaign across all of the cards of a mobile network operator requires a scalable and stable software solution based on the SMPP protocol.
- A secure, cryptographic channel is required according to the industry standards.
- The client of Infopulse needed a solution meeting all of the above requirements to be developed.
Solution
- The existing client proprietary SMPP (SMPP33, SMPP34) server was rewritten, enhancing its load-balancing and failover capabilities.
- Open-source implementations of the SMPP protocol were audited in order to use the corresponding experience as lessons learned.
