The most typical applications of SC.M2M EasyHLR:
- Used jointly with M2M platform to provide:
- the operation optimization of the primary HLR
- savings on licenses of the primary HLR
- Used jointly with SMS Firewall to provide the protection against a SIM card activity monitoring by other operators
Integration Scheme
To ensure the correct operation of the platform it should be connected to the signaling network of a MNO, and the above mentioned MAP requests should be routed to the platform according to the part of the subscribers base which is served by EasyHLR (series MSISDN and IMSI in the real or virtual numbering capacity of a MNO).
The platform in its minimum configuration is available on two servers working in fault-tolerant Active-Active mode.
