How it works
XXX
XXX
- Initially, all SMS messages sent or received by roaming operators are routed through the SS7 network. There is therefore an end-to-end exchange based on the same technology.
- Decommissioning 2G/3G core networks creates a technological gap between operators, disrupting the connection and obstructing the traffic flow.
- The Interworking solution we have implemented restores the link between you and your roaming partners by translating the message transparently.
- On one side, your roaming partner continues to use the SS7 protocol, and on the other, you rely on the LTE SGd protocol.
- For a better experience, we recommend using your GT (Global Title) range, allowing us to manage the traffic in a more flexible or centralized way.
