What is a SIM Server ?

A SIM Server, also written SIMServer, is a centralized SIM card management system designed to remotely manage and dynamically allocate physical SIM cards to GSM gateways. SIM Server technology enables centralized SIM card management, remote SIM management and automated SIM allocation across distributed telecom infrastructures.

Instead of installing and manually replacing SIM cards at each remote gateway location, SIM cards are stored centrally and dynamically assigned over the network to individual GSM gateway channels.

How does a SIM Server work ?

The SIM Server centrally manages physical SIM cards stored in SIM Units and dynamically assigns them to remote GSM gateway channels over the IP network.

Based on configurable rules such as operator, tariff, usage, time or SIM status, the SIMBERRY vGATE SIM Server selects the appropriate SIM card and makes it available to the required GSM gateway channel.

This architecture allows SIM cards and GSM gateways to be located in different geographic locations while remaining centrally managed. SIM allocation, balance checks, prepaid recharge, SIM replacement and other recurring operations can be automated without physical intervention at the gateway location.
