MOBITEK S80 Sends SMS Over 3G Network

  1. The AT command result of MOBITEK S80 GSM/SMSModem shows:-
    MOBITEKS80-3G-01
  2. Take note that AcT = 2MOBITEKS80-3G-02

    UTRAN (short for “Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network”) is a collective term for the network and equipment that connects mobile handsets to the public telephone network or the Internet. It contains the base stations, which are called Node B’s and Radio Network Controllers (RNCs)[1] which make up the UMTS radio access network.[2] This communications network, commonly referred to as 3G (for 3rd Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Technology), —https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_Terrestrial_Radio_Access_Network

    Since it is “2”, this mean MOBITEK S80 is connected to 3G network and SMS is sent via 3G network.

  3. Will MOBITEK S80 be restricted to sending SMS via 2G only ?
  4. No, MOBITEK S80 can send SMS via 2G or 3G network. MOBITEKS80-3G-03https://www.quora.com/What-will-happen-to-SMS-when-2G-network-shutdown-and-there-is-only-3G-and-4G-network-available-Are-people-still-able-to-send-SMS-and-receive-SMS-from-their-3G-mobile-phone

MOBITEK S80 is the Solution to Singapore Shutting Down 2G Network

Singapore government has confirmed that they will shut down 2G or GSM network:-

“The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) has approved the request of the mobile network operators (MNOs) – M1, Singtel Mobile and StarHub Mobile – to close their 2G networks with effect from 1 April 2017.“

Therefore, for Singapore, there is no choice and all equipments must move to 3G.

If you are currently using GSM/SMS modem that only supports 2G network (e.g. Wavecom M1306B, Wavecom Supreme 10, Sierra Wireless FXT009) we recommend MOBITEK® S80.

MobiGATE SMS Engine — Enterprise Edition version 6.0 Now Supports Concatenate SMS

MOBITEK SMS Engine — Enterprise Edition is a Windows Service that sends and receives SMS. System integrator and software developer do not need to write any code to build a SMS Gateway. The MOBITEK SMS Engine uses SQL Server database (MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle) to store incoming SMS, and to check if there is any pending SMS to be send out.

Your application or system just need to insert records into “outbox” table to send out SMS, and retrieve record from “inbox” table to read SMS.

MOBITEK SMS Engine has taken care all SMS transactions.

The new version 6.0 supports concatenation of multiple part of SMS when sending out, i.e. it can send SMS with more than 160 characters.

While version 6.2 has fixed a bug — in the inbox table, both “scts” and “dateime_recv” have the same time stamp; by right “scts” should take the value from properties “scts” which is the time stamp of network operator.

MOBITEK SMS Engine is able to work in Windows Server 2003 / 2008 / 2012, 32 bit and 64.

For Oracle support, separate license is required.
