I doubt that the problem is in GSM modem. Usually bottleneck comes from your Telco SMSC (in your case government operated Telco), or your connectivity. Ask them what kind of SMSC they use.
So IMHO, you should try to use several connections/modems and/or place your modems in the area of good coverage.
If you can you could actually borrow other models of GMS modems from your friends and try to benchmark just to try. But I still believe that you have to have pool of GSM modems (implies that you have to have several different MS-ISDN numbers for each of the modems).

Hello everybody.
My company is curently implementing a set of SMS services here in Costa Rica using Kannel and GSM modems. The thing is that the operator here (there is only one, government-operated) is far from allowing third parties to gain access to its SMSC, primarily because, since it is owned by the government, all those kind of businesses are highly regulated, and need aproval from a lot of controlling instances.
Because of this, we are using GSM modems to provide the services, but have come to situations where this devices really don't provide us with the throughput we need.
So, the question is, are there other kind of devices that allow a faster distribution of messages, kind of high throughput modems that allow mass sending of messages?
We are currently using Wavecoms. I don't know if maybe other brand of modems (Falcom, Siemens, Nokia) will provide more throughput.
Any help highly appreciated.
