Effective uses of Grey Route for the Companies

A grey route is one of the most effective ways of sending SMS through an operator where the entity who is sending and the supplier do not have the commercial agreement or relationship with the receiving operator. It can be of three categories of the Internet routes defined by the Policy Analysis of Internet Routing (PAIR) project, an initiative that is dedicated to the development of tools that ISPs (Internet service providers), network operators, and end users can use to troubleshoot Internet routing and policy problems. As PAIR describes it, a grey route is one that is not configured of proxy in any view but has been received by the route server. The other two types or categories are green and red routes where the green route is one that is registered with the IRR, complies with policy and is being the proxy holder by the route servers and the red route is the one that is registered with the Internet routing Registry (IRR), and is configured to be the proxy holder by the route servers but not currently announced in a view. It is basically a very subjective term that it mostly and exclusively related to A2P SMS traffic; otherwise the grey routes can be used to send P2P traffic.
Grey routes are one of the best ways to send SMS with the help of an operator that acts as the middleman between the entity and their supplier and they don’t have the agreement or the relationship with the receiving operator. For A2P traffic is also one of the best examples that would describe the SIM boxes in an elaborated manner. This is where A2P traffic is taken and sent over to SIMS that are installed in the modems that is made to happen for P2P uses. The benefit of this is that there are already many SIM installed where a huge volume of traffic can be sent at a very low price. Moreover, with the little short-term feat of filtering or being blocked as the controlling operators thinks that the messages sent to be generated by a person. The increase in the illegal VoIP activity is one of the channels where many companies earn a lot of revenue and causes a lot of financial losses to the state.
VoIP intrusion detection against the commercial traffic is a very difficult thing as many of the domestic Internet users go through a lot of trouble to employ legal VoIP for the point-to-point direct communication. It can be done through the statistical and behavioral analysis over a specific period of time to recognize and detect the IP addresses involved in this illegal activity. One can very easily segregate the illegal IPs that makes the network traffic. Moreover, the involvement of the encryption techniques and availability of the high throughout the Internet connections at a very low prices and has made the complicated problem to very simple. It also provides quality into the whole system, especially for the big company where Internet connectivity and SMS services is two of the most important things that the employees use.

What is SIM Box Gateway?

An unofficial voice over IP gateway that uses multiple mobile phones and SIM cards for public switched telephone network connectivity, while connecting to the Internet by conventional means is termed as a SIM Box. These are normally operated covertly in third-world calling destinations such as the "black" end of a "grey route" where conventional private branch exchange lines like a T-carrier primary rate interface are not available to VoIP operators due to a hostile local regulatory environment. A grey route is a telecommunication route that has one approved end while the other end is not a legal one.

Now that we know what a SIM Box is, the next question we face is, “What is SIM Box Gateway? A SIM-box enables a GSM gateway functioning without inserting any SIM cards. This feature allows storing of a bundle of SIM cards separately from VoIP/GSM gateways in order to minimize expenses on their maintenance. The gateways that allow a SIM Box to do so is known as a SIM Box Gateway.
A SIM box allows one to install and manage multiple SIM cards ranging from 20 to 300 SIM cards of different mobile operators that help to enable the work of several GSM gateways alternately known as SIM Box Gateway, placed at different locations. It enables one to keep his or her SIM cards away from the GSM gateway. It allows one to attach a separate SIM card for every GSM/VoIP gateway module, enabling the very same card to call from different points thereby reducing the risk of blocking.
