GSM Modems & Cellular Routers/Gateways

Cellular hardware is the most reliable and efficient method of delivering SMS. By using cellular hardware, you're removing PageGate's reliance on your internet connection to deliver your messages — which means your internet connection could go down and your messages would still be delivered. It's also important to note that allowing PageGate to interact with cellular hardware is the only method of configuring a two-way messaging system with SMS.

SMS capable cellular hardware comes in two varieties: cellular gateway/router and cellular modem.

Cellular Gateways/Routers

Cellular routers and gateways can be accessed via TCP by Telnet or SSH. You don't have to connect these devices to a PC — they just need to be connected to your network and configured appropriately to receive messaging commands.

Good examples of cellular routers/gateways:

• Multitech's MTR-LNA7, MTR-LVW2 and MTR-LAT1
• Airlink's GX450, RV50, RV55 and LX40
• Microhard IP4nGii
• Cisco Series 800, 900

For clientele in the UK and EU regions:

• ConiuGo GmbH 700600150S
• ConiuGo GmbH 700600160S
• ConiuGo GmbH 700600170S

GSM Modems / Cellular Modems

A cellular modem connects to a PC by USB or RS232 and provides a COM port in the operating system. If PageGate is running in a virtual environment, you can also connect a cellular modem to a COM port virtualizer that provides the COM port to the virtual machine.

Good examples of cellular modems:

• Multitech's MTC-H5 and MTR-LNA4
• US Robotics' USR3500
• Microhard's IP4NG
• AirPrime 73xx and 75xx
• Skyus-DS
• BlueOcean GSM and GPRS series
• Duxbury 120 and 180
• Siemens MTC45MC, MTC45TC, TC35, TC65
• Wavecom Fastrack GSM Modems
