Hello,
well, the most OPTIMAL hardware connection is surely SS7. But then
kannel is out of the game and you need a real smsc. But high volume
traffic with constant high traffic should be routed directly to the
carriers/MNOs and no aggregators in between. So best take a phone, try
to get some key-accounters of your local carriers and ask them for
rates.
With a direct connection to the provider and an average commercial
broadband connection to the Internet (SDSL 20 Mbit or something ...
depending on your country and the connection-type to the carriers) 100
sm/sec are no problem.
And, by the way: Murphys SMS law: real traffic is always 20% of what
the customers tells you and 10% of what the marketing calculates...

Falko

Hello all,
I'm designing a high-volume sms application (MT & MO, plus reverse
billing) and wondered if anyone had any recommendations about the
most optimal hardware connection type you've used to attach to the
telecom network(s). I'm not in a position to describe the nature
of the traffic as yet; but it is not spam and the system will not be
acting as a gateway for anyone else. The traffic could easily reach
into 100+ sms/sec range for 5-8hr periods in the evening.
I understand this is a broad question to start with, but it seemed
like a good place to start after seeing how much it would cost to
push 100k sms per day through a commercial gateway such as
clickatell (which I've used on prior projects).
Thanks,
