Does MOBITEK STK API Support Android OS?

I am planning to develop an Andorid App. Does MOBITEK STK API Support Android OS?

No.

But you can design and develop a Air-Time Reload System in these manner:-

  • front end is Android Application
  • back-end is a Windows Application using MOBITEK Q24 STK Modem and MOBITEK STK API
  • Android App can send a reload request command to Windows Application via SMS or HTTP
  • once Windows Application receives the command, it will process the reload request by sending command to the STK Menu via MOBITEK STK API

 

 

INGENICO Point of Sale Terminal

I am developing on the INGENICO point of sale Terminal in C. I what to be able to access and read the SIMCARD STK MENU on the terminal device how can this be acheived with you device.

 

You can access and read STK menu using our MOBITEK Q24 STK MODEM like this:-

MOBITEK Q24 STK MODEM -> SIM card -> STK Menu

but you cannot do so like this:-

MOBITEK Q24 STK MODEM -> INGENICO point of sale Terminal -> SIM card -> STK Menu

 

SAT PUSH Message

I’m looking for a tool that compiles a message, written in STKML or SATML or anything similar  into a SAT PUSH message. The output must be an hexadecimal string  to be sent via SMPP or Modem as GSM 8bit 140 bytes SMS.

Note: SAT PUSH as described in SIM ALLIANCE S@T 1.23 “Sat Push commands” specification.

If you plan to bypass the STK menu and proceed to the last step by using “SAT push”, then no, we do not have this solution.

However, if you plan to follow through the STK menu from 1st menu until the last menu/step where the STK will push out a message, then yes. Our MOBITEK® STK API can do it.

How Does MOBTEK Q24 STK MODEM HUB, Model: STKMH-EP432-C, Work?

MOBITEK Q24 STK Modem Hub_STKMH-US401-C_Front_2560 x 1920

Basically, there are 4 units MOBITEK® Q24 STK MODEM inside and each of them is assigned to an IP address:-

  • modem 1 => 192.168.1.10:8001
  • modem 2 => 192.168.1.10:8002
  • modem 3 => 192.168.1.10:8003
  • modem 4 => 192.168.1.10:8004

On PC side, you will need to install a virtual com port driver that will map com port to the IP address, e.g.:-

  • COM Port no. 11 => 192.168.1.10:8001
  • COM Port no. 12 => 192.168.1.10:8002
  • COM Port no. 13 => 192.168.1.10:8003
  • COM Port no. 14 => 192.168.1.10:8004

Then your Reload System/Software communicates with the COM port number, e.g.:-

  • Reload1.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload2.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload3.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload4.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14

Or if you are using multi-threading, then

  • Reload.exe => thread no. 1 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 2 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 3 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 4 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14
