so true about Murphys SMS law ...

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...

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,
