Panacea Mobile enterprise offers larger business and aggregators a host of administrative features to add, manage and maintain their customers routes, SMSC cost, customer pricing and lots more.

User Management

One of the key features of the the Panacea Mobile SMS Gateway is that it can manage all users of the system via an easy to use web interface.

Users can be added, deleted, updated via this interface. In addition to this, user billing information, routing and other transactions and reports can be performed directly from the interface.

Outbound Routing

The key feature of the Panacea Mobile SMS Gateway is it’s extremely powerful routing engine. All routes can be configured per operator (outbound gateway/SMSC) with costs associated; the specific routes will also 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.

Inbound Routing

In addition to the outbound routing features the Panacea Mobile Bulk SMS Gateway also has extremely powerful inbound (MO) routing.

Numbers or number ranges can be configured per gateway (operator/SMSC) and then these can be delegated to a particular user for delivery either via SMPP* or HTTP.

Numbers can also be shared amongst many users, but differentiated by keywords. As messages are received with a matching keyword attached, these will then be routed to the correct user as before.

Inbound (MO) messages can also be billed if applicable.

Billing

The Elite SMS Gateway has a tightly integrated billing system, managing all processes within the gateway.

Billing points which can be set:

• Pre/post paid billing on outbound (MT) messages, defined per destination, per operator.
• Post paid billing on inbound (MO) messages, defined per number, per operator.
• Post paid billing on inbound (MO) numbers, which can be billed per day, week, month, quarter or year.
• For users to deposit funds into their accounts, there are some pre-built modules available, such as

• Bank Transfer (manual approval)
• 2 Checkout (Credit Card)
• These can be approved via the administration console, or transactions can be manually added to user accounts.

Gateway Control

As the Panacea Mobile SMS Gateway uses Kannel as its core transport mechanism/layer, it is important to be able to control this system easily.

The web administration console can be used to:

• Start gateways
• Stop gateways
• Monitor all statistics on each gateway
• Load new gateways
• All this can be done without the need to stop services on the systems.

Reporting

The Panacea Mobile SMS Gateway has it’s own reporting infrastructure which is optimized for large capacity systems.

Reports are summarized daily (per timezone) so that database performance is not severely impacted during operation. All messages and end user reports of all users can be accessed via the administration console.

In addition, total system volume reports are also generated (and emailed) daily. These are broken down per country, per network.

Inventory reporting is also available to forecast stock levels in the system.
