Centralized SIM Server for iGATE/VoIPBOX GSM FX / UMTS systems Presenter : Eyal Shmueli

vGATE 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.

TELES.vGATE Features SIM card management via IP from one central location Time-dependent configuration Limits (multiple time quotas, etc.) Pause after usage Automatic recharging of PrePaid SIMs Intuitive drag & drop WindowsTM-based management interface Statistics Minutes, Calls ASR, ACD, CDR Call Generation Calls & SMS

TELES.NMS (Network Management System) Management of TELES fixed wireless products Fault management Configuration management bulk installations,automatic update, call home, remote provisioning Accounting management Management of Call Detail Records Performance management Extensive customizable statistics Security management

Components Control Unit: database (MySQL) & administration applications SIM Unit: contains all SIM cards (up to 10 SIM Units per Control Unit) SIM 60 module : 60 SIMs per board, 600 SIMs per chassis

Scenario | Timezone and Limit Assignment

Scenario | Carrier Distribution

Advantages 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).

Features A Control Unit handles up to twenty SIM Units (12,000 SIMs) Supports UMTS and dual SIMs (UMTS / GSM) SIM cards can move from one iGATE to another Cyclical use of multiple SIMs on a single Mobile channel Easy Assignment of Mobile channels to different Mobile networks Groups of iGATEs can be managed individually Flexible allocation of any SIM to any iGATE / VoIPBOX GSM at any point in time Priority levels for individual SIMs (Assignment priority) Priority levels for channel hunting (Call Priority) Support for daily, weekly, and monthly time quotas / limits Automatic calculation of remaining call time

Features Real-time alarm signaling Flexible SIM timer settings Detailed log files on SIM unit and control unit Various Reports (Status, SIM history etc.) Enhanced statistic overview (ASR, ACD, etc.) Automatic SMS/call generation among active SIM cards call generation to fixed line numbers Automatic retrieval of CDRs and statistics Flexible scripting interface

Special functions for Prepaid SIMs Automatic calculation of remaining call time based on credit query via USSD and SMS Automatic recharging of PrePaid accounts via USSD and DTMF Database driven management of voucher codes Scripting interface for enabling special SIM charging functions using SMS, USSD, or DTMF

Maintenance vGATE Desktop application also runs on any IP-connected Windows PC (1Mbps bandwidth recommended) Two level access: read-only / read & write Drag & drop interface for SIM usage configuration Direct GATE Manager access Detailed overview of the 'physical' usage of SIMs at the vGATE SIM Unit Detailed reports of SIMs for usage, statistics, errors, etc. – including filters Online status of systems and ports

vGATECtrl | 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)
