Linux SMS Gateway architecture

The Linux SMS Gateway makes it possible to send and receive SMS text messages, whilst connected directly to the SMSC via Internet or with a GSM mobile phone attached to the PC/Laptop. With the text message software, you can build a bulk SMS messaging system on Linux. The Linux SMS gateway software works on Ubuntu and Debian. Ozeki SMS Gateway for Linux is the best software for those who want to provide SMS services for their company and/or their customers and business partners!

Accelerate innovation, optimise operations, and delight users with high-quality SMS services. Your company can host Linux SMS Gateway software in-house, in an on-premise environment or you can choose a third-party provider in a cloud environment to host it all for you.

Corporate SMS services for your own company

The Linux SMS Gateway works as a Linux SMS server. You can create a self-hosted corporate SMS Gateway, which we built from scratch and have been developing over the past 20 years. Your ability to host the SMS service gives you 100% control over your data’s security, within your corporate environment (all of your messages and contacts are kept in-house).

SMS Developer

Join the happy developers who have discovered how easy it is to integrate the Ozeki SMS API with their website, app, software, e-commerce, and CRM application. Free SMS API examples help developers to create their sms solutions effectively.

You can connect your applications with Ozeki SMS APIs. We support lots of programming languages (including PHP, .NET, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, VB.NET). All you have to do is just to copy the free example, make some necessary modifications, and you can start sending and receiving SMS messages.

The Linux SMS Gateway can serve highly scalable applications. SMS message can be delivered through HTTP/HTTPS and SMPP protocols. On the other hand, if your Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) or independent SMS Service Providers use UCP or CIMD2, you can connect to them over the Internet.

SMS System Administrator

Intelligent text message routing and SMS load balancing increases performance, prevents application downtime, and helps in detecting failures in the early stages.

Based on strong message routing algorithms, the Ozeki SMS Gateway provides flexibility to define various routing rules and criteria, like sender ID, source, destination and many other combinations. You can track your SMS delivery status real time in the log.

Office users

Enhance your customers' experience of connectedness with instant mobile messaging solutions. It is designed to help you to achieve your communication goals, engage with customers, deliver powerful messages to drive revenue, capture data, and increase brand loyalty. Whether you have a single SMS to send, or a mobile communications roadmap to deliver on with the Ozeki SMS Clients you will be able to achieve it. You can send and receive SMS messages in the office with Ozeki SMS Messenger or Excel SMS Client or your corporate sms website. We provide a great SMS Tool for office users.

Provide SMS Services for your technology partners

By sending bulk SMS, you can reach any sized group of contacts within seconds, easily communicating with customers, clients and staff.

The Ozeki SMS API permits programmatic access to SMS messaging features which are available on the Ozeki SMS messaging platform. It allows you to create simply and quickly text enable applications from within your existing and familiar development environments. Please, review our code samples!

Connecting mobile networks

There are several options for connecting the SMS gateway software to the mobile network. If your enterprise wants to build a high-capacity business SMS system, the most ideal connection method is to connect directly to the mobile operator's SMSC. The SMSC can be connected via the Internet, which uses one of the SMPP, UPC or CIMD2 protocols, or by using an HTTP/HTTPS online connection.

Build Cloud-based SMS Service for your business partners

Explore endless possibilities using the Linux SMS Gateway designed for complex and dynamic environments. The SMS SaaS makes it possible to send bulk SMS messages to your customers or receive text messages from them. As the cloud-based SMS Service is a SaaS, it works through the cloud delivery model. The SMS SaaS applications are typically accessed via web browsers or other desktop solutions.

The SMS gateway supports the SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer) protocol (version 3.3 or 3.4 or later), as a way to connect to an SMSC over the Internet or other private TCP/IP network. Due to SMPP being designed and optimised especially for SMS delivery, the majority of mobile operators provide SMPP service connections for bulk sms messaging and enable direct connection to the SMSC. Ozeki SMS Gateway also supports SMS sending and receiving via HTTP/HTTPS or UCP, CIMD2 protocols.

Customer connection to the Linux SMS gateway

The following SMS client connectivity tools can help their customers to use the cloud-based SMS Saas:

• Web based applications with SMS text messaging functionality
