What is Mobius Mobile API Gateway?

The Mobius Mobile API Gateway is an enterprise-grade software platform that serves as a bridge between modern applications and mobile operator networks and is designed to simplify access to core telecom services. It provides a REST-based API that lets external systems perform real-time mobile network operations without needing to understand complex telecom signaling protocols.

This system is a versatile gateway capable of handling various mobile network interactions such as:

• Subscriber status checks
• Routing information retrieval
• Number portability resolution
• Presence detection

Mobile networks are built on decades-old signaling protocols like SS7 (for 2G/3G) and Diameter (for 4G/LTE). These systems are essential but difficult to work with directly. The Mobius Mobile API Gateway translates simple HTTP requests into those signaling formats, making it possible for modern tools to talk to mobile networks in real time. You can easly use such instrumrnts like fraud detection systems, SMS platforms, or number verification services.

The gateway supports querying a variety of mobile core components, including:

• HLR (Home Location Register) – Subscriber info for 2G/3G
• HSS (Home Subscriber Server) – Subscriber info for 4G/LTE
• VLR (Visitor Location Register), MSC (Mobile Switching Center), and others

Key Capabilities

Multi-Generation Support: Works with both SS7 (used in 2G/3G) and Diameter (used in 4G).

Unified API: Provides a single HTTP interface to multiple backend telecom systems.

Carrier-Grade Architecture: Scalable, redundant, and designed for high availability.

Centralized Management: Everything is configurable via a web interface. No need to touch the command line.

Real-World Use Cases

Where can you use the Mobius Mobile API Gateway in practice? Here are some common scenarios:

• Checking if a phone number is live and reachable. Basic for fraud prevention, customer verification, or telecom billing.
• Identifying the current network of a ported number. Especially useful for services impacted by Mobile Number Portability (MNP), like messaging or voice call routing.
• Finding the most efficient route for delivering SMS or initiating voice calls. Minimizing cost and maximizing deliverability.
• Detecting if a subscriber is currently roaming or registered on the network. Valuable for service eligibility, billing adjustments, or travel-related offers.

In short, Mobius Mobile API Gateway modernizes access to telecom infrastructure. It empowers digital service providers to integrate deeply with mobile networks. Securely, efficiently, and without needing deep telecom expertise.
