SMS Interception
The SMS interception system is connected to the GSM operators Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) within a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) and receives all SMS. The system decodes, monitors, and stores them via the secure TCP/IP connections. All SMS are inserted in a central database for later analysis. The system is capable of holding multibillions of records over terabytes of storage systems and can process up to 200 million SMS' per day. By implementing the latest database technologies the system offers long-term archiving of SMS and fast data mining capabilities, including a full indexed multilingual SMS text-search. The implementation and interfacing of an SMS interception system depends on the type and version of the operator's Short Message Service Center (SMSC). The modular configuration of the SMS interception system allows it to interface and adapt to each vendor of such SMSC.
