i'm new to the topic SMS on linux.
My company needs to develope an application for their own use.
We need to handle incoming SMS, the infrastructure to receive those SMS will be provided by our Mobilephone-Provider in their datacenter.

Our Mobilephone-Provider is able to deliver these Shortmessages (SMS) via public Internet (TCP/IP) with a protocol he's calling UCP/EMI ("The interface is based on the ERMES UCP (Universal Computer Protocol) with some SMSC-specific extensions")
 to us.
In the same protocol-specification we got from theme, the protocol as also called EMI, which is the communication layer between the SMSC ? and our (to be developed) application in our datacenter.

So my question is (before i go in detail in the documentation) is kannel able to receive SMS from an SMSC via UCP/EMI and to e.g. write them into a filesystem/database or whatever. We need would need a gateway for the communication part with the provider which could be adapted in our application.

I would be happy if someone who's more familiar with this topic is able to give me an advice to find a possible solution for this (under linux) . If kannel could provide a solution for this problem, i would also be glad to get some information about commercial support for this project. We are located in Düsseldorf/NRW Germany.

Hi Oliver,

in short: yes!... That's what is Kannel doing as SMS gateway. It abstracts various (see user's guide) SMSC protocols on the client side towards HTTP on the server side that is used for the backend application communication.

So your application can send SMS (MT) via HTTP to Kannel and Kannel takes care about the EMI/UCP protocol towards Vodafone D2 or/and T-Mobile ;) ... same way for inmount (MO) messages.

In case you need commercial support, I'm located near-by ;)

Regards,
Stipe
