SMS Probe for HP SiteScope and HP OVIS from ADVENAGE
Short Message Service (SMS) is by far the most important data service of GSM and UMTS network operators, service providers and MVNOs around the world. 80 to 90 percent of data service revenues are achieved with SMS. But accessibility, retainability and integrity of this services is not only crucial from the revenue perspective - there are also many business applications using SMS as a central communication element. In many cases network operators, service providers and MVNOs are required to prove the short message service quality achieved. SMS Probe from ADVENAGE - together with the HP products SiteScope or OpenView Internet Services - was tailored to fulfill these needs of MVNOs, service providers and network operators.
SMS Probe extends HP SiteScope and HP OpenView Internet Services with SMS service testing and monitoring capabilities. SMS Probe simulates SMS service end-users sending and receiving Short Messages over the air or via SMPP and delivers detailed performance data to SiteScope or OVIS. SMS Probe integrates seamlessly with HP SiteScope, HP OVIS and other HP products.
Compared to traditional solutions it follows a new implementation approach allowing for best-in-class reliability and performance. As a probe plugin for HP OpenView Internet Services, SMS Probe enables mobile network operators, service providers and MVNOs to monitor SMS services using an industry standard performance management system. This avoids expenditures by running separate OSS systems or integrating non-standard systems into their performance management environments.
SMS Probe comes as a full service package including consulting, installation, support and software maintenance.
SMS Probe Features:
- Monitoring of availability and performance of SMS services
- Monitoring of roaming and competitor interconnections
- Monitoring of SMS info services
- Monitoring of SMS to E-Mail interconnection
- Monitoring of SMS to and from Large Accounts (SMPP 3.4)
- GSM and UMTS Bearer support

SMS Probe gathers availability and performance data by periodically sending and receiving Short Messages (SMs) to and from an SMSC.
Upon reception of a test SM, the round trip time is calculated and logged to HP SiteScope or HP OVIS along with other data concerning time-stamps, transfer rate and status.
The measurement data can be instantly displayed on the HP SiteScope or HP OVIS dashboard and may be analyzed later. Threshold vaalues on all metrics allow for early detection of service quality degrations.
Critical system states - e.g. SMSC or interconnection failures - as well as SLA violations are detected in time and can be reported to the Network-Management-Center using standard reporting and alarming functions. This allows reacting quickly on performance bottlenecks and system failures and helps to reduce revenue loss due to system unavailability.
