The Romanian Operator RCS & RDS chooses JSC Ingenium USSD Gateway

RCS & RDS, Romanian quadruple-play services Operator, orders to JSC Ingenium an alternative solution to the SMS short messages expediting, thus reducing the price of the communication with the mobile telephony users in the countries where it operates nowadays.

It processes the USSD instead of the Operator HLR.

However, the two main characteristics from the JSC Ingenium solution deployed are: it can run both SS7 and SIGTRAN standards and a very high level flexibility to create new functionalities and interfaces with external nodes that have useful information for clients.

LleidaNet entrust to JSC Ingenium with the implementation of a SS7 interconnection infrastructure.

LleidaNet ordered to JSC Ingenium the implementation of a SMS Gateway to allow the sending of short messages towards other Operators through SS7 protocols.
The SS7 interconnection infrastructure, completely developed by JSC, is characterized by easier translation of the internal protocols - SMPP- to the interconnection type used by the Mobile Networks Operators. It allows obtaining more competitive conditions from the Network Operators when making SMS massive sending and, on the other hand, directly consulting the Operators’ HLR, in order to optimize the messages sending policies: where a certain subscriber is, if the mobile phone is in use or not, and when it becomes connected. In addition, it allows knowing if the subscriber has cancelled the subscription so unnecessary sending can be avoid with the consequent costs saving.
The service is going to be rendered by IOS (Ingenium Outsourcing Services), the Grupo Ingenium Tecnología outsourcing company to which JSC Ingenium belongs.

LleidaNet
Lleida.net is the first Short and Multimedia messaging operator in Spain. Its SMSC is interconnected with all national and international operators both MVNO’s and MNO’s covering more than 200 countries all around the world.
