Outbound Routing
The key feature of the Elite SMS Gateway is it’s extremely powerful routing engine. All routes can be configured per operator (outbound gateway/SMSC) with costs associated, as well as then specific routes can be allocated to each user, again with custom costs for each user.
This will allow you to bill your clients differently based on networks they wish to send to, and for higher volume customers offer better discounts. In addition to this power, it has also been built to be extremely fast as can be seen by the architecture.
Routes can be configured per user, or system profiles can be used for users to share common profiles (for example worldwide coverage).
Routing is based on numerous factors at time of submission, this factors include:
- Least cost routing
- Priority routing
- Gateway availability
- Gateway pending queues (load balancing)
All these decisions are made at the time of submission which allows for great transparency while delivering.
