SMS Loadbalancing, the solution by Area SX for SMS massive sending from your cluster of SIM cards.
SMS Loadbalancing is the solution designed by Area SX to implement SMS massive sending simply using ordinary GSM UMTS SIM cards.
The SMS Loadbalancing unit allows you to collect via the integrated WEB interface or directly via SQL query all the messages to be sent and,
due to a sophisticated software, to balance the transmission of SMSs on several miniSMSmachines connected on the network.
Sending large amount of SMS for information or advertising campaigns using a SIM card may have problems:
firstly, for the concrete time required for sending a large number of SMS and secondly for the actual limitations (whether explicit or not )
in all the contracts of telephone operators.
The Loadbalancing solution allows you to avoid both the metioned problems in a simple, fast and scalable way according your specific needs.
In fact, the Loadbalancing "concentrator" unit allows you to manage a miniSMSmachines cluster (for all information read: SMS Machine)
that can be exstended according to your needs.
The messages are stored in the "concentrator" database and then automatically sorted by the software to all the available SMS Machine
in order to end the trasmission in a fast and safe way.
In case of malfunction of one or more channels, in fact, the software automatically arranges to send messages on channels which are working properly,
thus ensuring the effective delivery of all SMS to the operator's network.
Each miniSMSmachine channel manages its own SIM card and is connected on LAN to the "concentrator".
This configuration has remarkable advantages: the use of multiple Network Operators at the same time,
the possibility to expand or replace at will the sending SIM cards group and without stopping the operation of the system,
the possibility to have the miniSMSmachine channels geographically in different locations.
The SMS Loadbalancing concentrator works as well as for broadcasting also for reception,
enabling collection of all SMS received from all the connected SIM cards into a single database.
Integrated WEB interface
The most immediate way to build a sending campaign is through the use of the WEB interface integrated in the Loadbalancing unit.
From this interface you can configure the channels connected to the concentrator, load and manage the contacts phone book,
create messages to be sent and display received messages.
The WEB interface also provides a complete system for real-time polling on received SMS
in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaigns carried out.
Direct access to the database
A second way of interaction with the "concentrator" is through direct access to the database.
In this way, the SMS to be sent are stored directly into the sending queue by simple MySql queries.
Similarly, it is possible to get the list of received messages so that they can be analyzed through external software.
In this way, the development or the integration of your own application software becomes an extremely simple task.
Nowadays, the MySQL connections are practically possible with all the programming languages and all the Operating Systems.
As an example, we provide basic queries for sending messages and reading received messages.
Query for reading received SMS:
SELECT counter,gsmnumber,readdate, msgdate, configid, message FROM inpmsgqueue;
Query for SMS sending:
INSERT INTO loadbalancing (gsmnumber, message, writedate) VALUES ('+39...', 'SMS Test', NOW());
