Elitnet’s Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) provides MNOs with functionalities required to support location-based services on mobile networks.
GMLC is responsible for event processing and reporting subscriber location information to the required endpoints. It can provide network services and authorized third parties with standardized subscriber location information access via the MLP protocol.
The product is based on Elitnet’s Agate TAS and connects to network resources such as SMLC and HLR via the Dialogic SS7 Stack. GMLC enables the deployment of various location-based value-added services on the TAS.
GMLC is always deployed on at least two servers, ensuring the system’s high availability. It is also integrated with the operator’s monitoring system to ensure smooth maintenance. GMLC provides the operator with complete information about all events which took place in the system, providing easier issue detection and resolution.
KEY FEATURES
LOCATION INFORMATION REPORTING
GMLC’s core functionality is reporting the current location information of a CSP’s subscriber to the predefined endpoints. This information includes the subscriber’s CellID and current status.
SS7 AND DIAMETER SUPPORT
GMLC can be deployed on 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE networks since it supports both SS7 and Diameter protocols. The Dialogic SS7 Stack is used to connect to the SS7 network.
MLP LOCATION REPORTING PROTOCOL
GMLC uses the industry-standard Mobile Location Protocol (MLP) to report the subscriber’s location to the predefined endpoints/applications.
SMLC
INTEGRATION
If available, GMLC may be integrated with Serving Mobile Location Centers (SMLCs) to greatly increase the precision of location reporting. Integration with SMLC allows using the Enhanced CellID method for location reporting.
