UltraComP GSM and IS41 wap gateway UltraComP GSM and IS41 wap gateway

Based on very recent hardware, open software and standard cards, the UltraComP SS7 platform is for small or medium mobile operators who want to offer a range of value-added services with reduced capital and operation expenditure, as well as space.

State-of-the-art industrial compact server

The industrial compact server provides state-of-the-art Raid 0 disks for security. The foldable 1U flat monitor + keyboard also minimizes the space.
Installation and cutover only takes a few days.

Open Software

The Operating System is the RedHat distribution by LINUX, the most widely used and supported.
The database is MySQL, also open software fully compliant with SQL database request specifications.

Standard cards

Standard PCI cards are used, communicating over the industry standard H100/H110 TDM bus.

Open Software integrated architecture

The 3 functions SMSC, MMSC and USSD may be integretated in the same UltraComP platform, because even in this small size, it is very scalable.

For MMS, the integrated SMSC provides the "WAP Push Proxy" function to send the MMS notifications. And for the (road map) VMS, it provides SMS notification of the presence of new voice mails.

The UltraComP is connected to one of your MSC by standard E1 (T1 available) 2Mb links.

It is also connected to your IP network to provide:

  • a SMPP connection for the SMS Service to Application Service Providers
  • a MM4 connection to send/receive MMS from other networks.

    • automatic cyclic retries (user modifiable)
    • automatic purge after the validity period
  • IP Access: SMPP V3.4 protocol and http
  • Integrated WAP gateway for MMS notification
  • Bulk SMS server
    • used to send an SMS to a list of numbers
    • text, logos, ring tones supported
    • possibility of individual messages for each number
MMSC Characteristics
  • MMSMO: support of the MM1 protocol
  • MMSMT:
    • own subscribers: MMS notification procedure using the integrated SMSC
    • other subscribers: send through MM4
  • Provisioning interface for own subscribers : mobile type and characteristics
  • Integrated HLR interrogation (MM5 interface): to obtain the domain name of the other network's subscribers
  • support of MMS retrieval by http for the legacy cellphones.
Redundant Architecture

The ship-back maintenance policy of the UltraComP platforms may be provided as 2 redundant systems, each sharing the same Point Code and Global Title, and accessing a replicated database for the SMS and the MMS (later the Voice Mail).

So if one system fails, the service is still fully operational.
You just ship back the faulty platform and receive it fixed a few days later. This is the most effective way of providing 100% availability and security at low cost.

Prepaid real time charging, will work with any existing prepaid system
  1. For INbased prepaid services the SMSC can directly charge a prepaid subscriber in the IN credit database, using the standard CAMEL protocol, by simulating a call.
  2. For Service Node, with no need for reverse engineering, it uses a simulated ISUP “loop call” from the SMSC to itself
  3. For Service Node based prepaid, the installation package includes the reverse engineering of the access to the credit database for real-time updating.
  4. If you use the Ultracomp SCP, the prepayment of SMS, USSD and MMS is entirely handed on the SCP.
USSD Platform Characteristics
  • Provides conversational mobile activated services to all phones including 2G, 2.5G
  • Conversational (NOTIFY) and nonconversational (REQUEST) sessions.
  • Application provided by internal scripts (written in standard PERL) communicating with external or internal databases.
