Hello, There are some decently distinct camps when it comes to gateways. Some try to seed out gateways into a market and tack up grey routes to use the GSM operators network for last hop termination and gather the international revenue. The mobile operator sees this as a loss because they want to gather that revenue. These are the sort of people you need to avoid like the plague. If they have no problem being dishonest with an operator, how honest will then be with you? On the other side of the coin, there are legitimate commercial applications for this technology, and in many cases if you are honest and outline the benefit for the mobile operator they are willing to assist. In fact it is usually more profitable for a carrier to have gateways in at a customer, it opens up high profit data opportunities that were never there before and solidifies the customer link to the mobile carrier.
Bringing it back around to SIPx, I honestly haven't had time to do any sort of testing with the platform to see how much work it would take to get it running. It's quick with Asterisk and commercial platforms like CCM. I think that SIPx is well positioned to use the technology at a lower risk than other platforms because SIPx really is more a commercial / enterprise play than a ITSP sort of solution. I can say this, when used properly, the mobile operator, customer and integrator end up being happy. If you want to learn more just email or call. Thanks.
