The IRON SIM Manager has knowledge of available SIMs in the various iQSIM arrays.
The SIM card to use is selected based on a set of advanced criteria such as current date and time, price plan, GSM provider.
Once selected, it provides the gateway with useful information to access this SIM card. The gateway directly contacts the iQSIM Array through TCP/IP to read the SIM information and register it on the GSM network.
Periodically, the IRON SIM Manager checks GSM port status and then detects when a SIM card needs to be changed.
Criteria to change SIMs are a combination of time, date, price plan limit, SIM validity.
When one of this criteria matches, the IRON SIM Manager will associate another SIM to the gateway.
When prepaid cards or monthly plans are running short of credit, SIM cards are automatically removed from routing.
A new SIM card is then immediately allocated improving drastically your ASR (Answer Seizure Ratio) and taking full advantage of your GSM gateways.

An out-of-the-box web-based interface manages the SIM Manager deployment. This interface allows the administration of the SIM cards including advanced features such as iQSIM array maintenance, and SIM tracability.
This web interface has been designed to easily manage large numbers of SIMs.
Filtering capabilities combined with SIM status provide a unique SIM tool management interface.
In addition, they provide an overall view of all GSM gateways, ASR (Answer Seize Rates) and ACD (Average Call Duration) per gateway, SIM and port.
