Centralized SIM Server foriGATE/VoIPBOX GSM FX / UMTS systems

Presenter : Eyal Shmueli

2TELES.TRAININGvGATE Principles

All SIM cards are stored and operated in one central SIM card server.

No SIM cards needed in the iGATE location

The SIM card server provides the necessary SIM data to the remote iGATE / VoIPBOX GSM FX via an IP connection

These virtual SIM cards can be moved from one iGATE location to another.

9TELES.TRAININGAdvantages

Not necessary to install SIM cards into each iGATE / VoIPBOX GSM

Reduces costs for maintaining and assigning SIMs at individual iGATEs / VoIPBOX GSM Fx (e.g. traveling costs to replace SIM cards)

Simulate a real mobile phone user behaviour.

– A single SIM can be used in different locations (time dependent)– Automatic call & SMS generation

Central configuration of SIM properties (e.g. SMSC, LAIN and Volume settings).

17TELES.TRAININGvGATECtrl | Scripting API

Scripting API is able to import and export various data to and from

the vGATE database.

The following functions are possible using the vGATE API:

• Changing the SIM settings in the database

• Reserving SIMs to iGATEs and controllers

• Assigning SIMs to iGATEs and controllers

• Exporting various vGATE settings to an ASCII file

(Timezone configurations, SIM reservations and settings, iGATE settings)
