Hi,
I have a tango55 mobile gateway, are there any limitations to how many sms's you can send simultaneously?
Regards,
Steve
The limit for most single-channel sms gateways is around 30 messages/minute. This is as far as I know a limitation of the SMS technology. Some vendors have multi-channel sms gateways, where you can add multiple sim cards to get a higher throughput.
As Bert said, DataMiner will queue the messages that cannot be sent immediately, so bursts of messages can be handled without problem, if you have a constant high volume of messages you will need to look at a hardware solution.
Hi Steve,
SMS messages are being send synchronous, so one by one. And I don't immediately find some specs back in the manual of the Tango device, but DataMiner has a queue to buffer these messages. In other words, there is no real limitation on how many messages you can send simultaneous, but it might take some time to get them processed by the mobile gateway.
You can view this queue 'SMS stack' in DataMiner Cube > System Center > Mobile Gateway > Status tab page.
