Alcyon is connected to mobile networks at the signalling level. We use that SS7 connectivity to deliver application-to-person SMS, as one more termination path alongside our direct SMPP routes.
Talk to our teamSS7 is the signalling network mobile operators use between themselves. Being connected to it lets us hand an SMS to the destination network at that level.
The signalling connection is ours. We do not resell someone else’s SS7 access.
We use it to terminate application-to-person SMS: verification codes, alerts and notifications, and campaigns.
SS7 termination sits alongside our direct SMPP connections, so each destination can go out through the path that delivers best.
Nothing changes on your side: you send to us over SMPP and we decide which path each message takes.
You receive a delivery receipt for each message, the same as on any other route.
Delivery over SS7 is tested and watched continuously, and traffic moves to another route if quality drops.
Tell us the countries and operators you need and the type of traffic.
We tell you where SS7 termination is available and at what rate.
You use your SMPP account with us; no signalling work is required on your side.
Your traffic is delivered and monitored, with a delivery report for every message.
Send us your destinations, volumes and requirements. You will hear back from the technical team with a concrete proposal.
