Map the existing service paths
Identify voice call routes, SMS delivery paths and USSD applications. Establish which network nodes and external partners participate in each service.
Operators, MVNOs & network integrators
Connect established services to the next network change.
Plan voice interconnection, SMS and interactive USSD services together with the signaling and subscriber systems they depend on. Choose the functions you need for a service introduction or a subsystem replacement.

Relevant building blocks
Select the functions you need.
These products provide a starting point for design. The final mix follows your operating model and the functions already available in your network.
Voice routing and signaling
Transit supplies gateway MSC voice functions and media-gateway control. Signal provides SS7 routing where the network design requires it.
- Fonetika Transit — Gateway Mobile Switching Center
- Fonetika Signal — SS7 Signaling Transfer Point
SMS and interactive applications
Message supplies SMSC store-and-forward functions and application messaging integration. Dialog connects USSD sessions to HTTP application processing.
- Fonetika Message — Short Message Service Center
- Fonetika Dialog — USSD Gateway
Subscriber data
Use Identity when subscriber profiles, authentication or related network queries are within the scope you need to operate.
- Fonetika Identity — Subscriber Data & Authentication
Integration boundaries
Plan the systems around the software.
Identify ownership, interfaces and responsibilities before implementation begins.
IMS and IP voice services
IMS, VoLTE and VoWiFi integration can be discussed as a separate engineering scope. Transit is a gateway MSC; it is not presented as a complete IMS service platform.
Applications and media
USSD application servers, business applications and external media gateways retain their own responsibilities. Select interfaces based on the products and service paths in scope.
Commercial interconnection
Voice and messaging connectivity agreements, numbering and applicable charging relationships are defined with the responsible operators and partners.
Pilot & acceptance
Agree what the evaluation should demonstrate.
Choose representative scenarios and measurable acceptance criteria for your environment. Targets and test scope are agreed for the project.
Voice scenarios
Where Transit is selected, test agreed call-routing, subscriber-query and media-gateway-control scenarios with the connected networks.
Message and session flows
Where selected, test SMS submission and delivery paths, store-and-forward behavior and USSD interaction with the application backend.
Records and operations
Check the applicable charging exchanges, service records, routing changes and recovery procedures against the acceptance plan.
Planning questions
Get the scope right from the start.
Bring the voice or messaging service paths you want to change, partner interfaces, application requirements, traffic profile and transition constraints.
Is this the same service as Fonetika Reach?
This solution uses software for organizations running their own voice and messaging infrastructure. Reach provides commercial SMS and messaging services for businesses and messaging partners.
Can we start with an SMSC or USSD gateway only?
Yes. Message and Dialog are separate products. Their integration with subscriber systems, signaling, charging and applications is scoped around the service you intend to operate.
Does the solution include IMS?
IMS, VoLTE and VoWiFi requirements are addressed as a separate integration scope. The product mix on this page covers gateway voice, SMS, USSD, signaling and subscriber data; IMS functions and responsibilities must be defined for the project.
Looking for messaging as a service?
Fonetika Reach connects business applications and messaging partners with SMS delivery.
