Saves Time and Money

A full-featured vGATE SIM Server for centralized SIM card storage and management, the vGATE ends time consuming travel to replace SIM cards and theft of SIM cards that have been left in unattended GSM gateways.

The vGATE delivers dynamically allocated, virtual SIM card accessibility over the Internet from a central SIM card maintenance center within distributed mobile GSM and 3G UMTS networks.

Every SIM card from the card pool can be made available to each mobile channel, thereby assuring that the most attractive tariff option is used throughout your mobile-gateway network.

Versatile Management

The vGATE indicates the status of every SIM card and you can activate, deactivate and assign each card to a gateway location. You can also supervise credit limits for prepaid cards and assign SIM cards with favorable tariff schemes.

Using scripts for daily operation, you can easily perform recurring tasks such as SIM property changes. Real-time alarm signaling allows you to react immediately and minimize loss of traffic.

Blocked cards can be detected automatically and substituted. Prepaid accounts can be reloaded automatically.

Comprehensive statistics provide information about the system's capacity and the channel utilization (ASR), thereby providing the means for efficient traffic management and full cost control.

Profit from Power

The vGATE control unit can manage a virtually unlimited number of SIM cards. Actual implementations have been realized with up to 6000 active SIM cards in 10 vGATE SIM units, each fully equipped with 600 SIM cards.

The vGATE consists of one Windows-based database server control unit and at least one SIM unit for up to 10 SIM card carriers, each carrier having a capacity of up to 60 SIM cards.

Our Network Management System can optionally be installed on the control unit, thereby integrating the TELES maintenance platform with SIM card management on a single server. This option does not require additional hardware or additional interfaces.
