ING Private Bank has enhanced their in-house COMMZGATE Setup to a pretty heavy-duty one involving multiple GSM modems and the ever-amazing N-Port IP-based Serial Port Appliance server.

The N-Port application is basically a specialized server appliance with its own IP address and up to 16 RS-232 serial ports extending out of the back of it for connection with serial devices such as GSM modems.

The COMMZGATE Enterprise Server installed on-site communicates with the N-Port using the supplied management program (runs on Windows and Linux).

The enhanced setup  allows for increased message throughput as well as sophisticated message routing based on destination mobile number country codes.
