What is SMS traffic?

SMS traffic is the number of messages sent and received over the network. It includes all types of messages, including text, multimedia and office SMS.

How does SMS traffic control technology work?

The main task of SMS traffic control is to ensure the safety and efficiency of using telecommunication channels. It is based on the use of specialized systems and a software.

There are several ways to control SMS traffic:

• through a communication operator;
• with the help of special software;
• on online services.

The technology includes:

1. Data collection. The system collects data about SMS messages passing through the network, including information about the sender, recipient, time of sending, message content, etc.
2. Data analysis. After monitoring the system analyzes the data identifying any anomalies, potential threats or security breaches. This can help operators to find which services are the most popular and identify any unusual activity that may indicate abuse or fraud.
3. Decision-making. Based on data analysis, operators can make decisions about how to manage SMS traffic. For example, they may impose limits on the number of messages a user can send over a certain period of time or block messages containing certain keywords.
4. Execution of decisions. After making a decision, the SMS traffic control system automatically applies the appropriate actions.

SMS traffic control technology plays an important role in ensuring the security and efficiency of SMS communications. Through continuous monitoring, analysis and traffic management, it helps to prevent threats and ensure security for both businesses and end users.
