The SSG includes an SMPP-HTTP Bridge capability that enables you to send SMS to upstream SMS providers that do not support SMPP but instead support HTTP.

Bridge locations

Bridges are located on the UK and Singapore SSG sites. Each bridge is capable of handling up to 1500 TPS.

Location	Instance
EU-UK	# 2
EU-UK	# 3
AP-SG (Singapore)	# 1

IP addresses for each instance are provided when bridge is configured by Melrose Labs Support.

Adapters

A number of different providers and APIs are supported through adapters implemented in the SMPP-HTTP Bridge. Below is a description of one of the generic adapters that can be configured to support different providers.

Adapter: jsonPOST

The jsonPost adapter will take SMS messages contained in SMPP submit_sm PDUs and submit them to a HTTP endpoint. The short_message field containing the message is converted to UTF8 based on the data_coding field in the submit_sm PDU and the dcsMCSpecificMeaning configuration value.

Configuration

Parameter	Description	Example
smppsystemid	SMPP system ID use in supplier SMSC configuration within SSG to connect to configured bridge
smpppassword	SMPP password associated with system ID
dcsMCSpecificMeaning	Character set when data coding scheme (DCS) of message is 0 ("MC default alphabet"). 1: IA5/ASCII, 3: Latin1/ISO 8859-1 (3), 8: UCS2	8 (UCS2)
urlSendSMS	API endpoint URL	https://api.smsprovider.com
sourceAddress	Key that should be used for source address in JSON request to API	senderId
destinationAddr	Key that should be used for destination mobile number in JSON request to API	mobileNo
message	Key that should be used for text message in JSON request to API	content
messageID	Key in JSON response that is used for message ID on successful submission of message to API	msgId
