Services and Network

STANZA SYSTEMS will be entitled at any time to modify, expand, improve, test, maintain or repair the System and to suspend providing the access to the System for such purposes as described in this Schedule A of the Agreement.


Telephone Numbers

Telephone numbers are provided for all wireless attached devices, for billing and network administration purposes. For M2M applications, the telephone number is a non dial-able, non routable number and is not visible to the Subscriber.

Customer has no right of ownership to the telephone numbers, which are a limited public resource. STANZA SYSTEMS reserves the right to transfer or change telephone numbers, when, in its discretion exercised in a reasonable manner, it determines that such transfer or change is necessary in the conduct of its business, or when a change is required by a regulatory authority or by industry agreement concerning the administration and assignment of telephone numbers, including number portability. Customer shall use the telephone numbers provided by STANZA SYSTEMS only for the provision of Services to Subscribers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

In the event that STANZA SYSTEMS cannot obtain a sufficient quantity of telephone numbers and an allocation is required in any coverage area, STANZA SYSTEMS may allocate telephone numbers on a pro rata basis among its customers and STANZA SYSTEMS’ service providers based on the relative number of subscribers across all coverage areas. STANZA SYSTEMS may also withdraw from a Customer any telephone number made available to Customer which remains unused or is unassigned for any reason for a continuous period of three (3) months, subject to a ten (10) day prior notice, and allocate it in the same manner as above without any liability. STANZA SYSTEMS will endeavor to keep telephone number changes to a minimum. STANZA SYSTEMS shall provide Customer with written notice of any intended change reasonably in advance of making any such change.


GPRS Network Services

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a non-voice value-added service that enables Subscribers to send and receive data by utilizing a packet-switched network, which is overlaid with the existing GSM air interface.

GPRS Related services

Access Point Names (APN)

Customer will be given access to one (or more) defined STANZA SYSTEMS partner’s APNs, as defined by market and in the Network Services Guidelines, which must be used at all times.

Authentication

Authentication may be required in addition to the regular authentication mechanism already provided by the GSM network (i.e., the IMSI).

IP addresses

Dynamic private IP addresses only are supported.

DNS

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is used to resolve Internet Names (FQDNs – Fully Qualified Domain Names) into routable IP addresses.

IP Routing

The GPRS network and IP backbone are configured to route all IP packets to, and from the mobile subscribers. IP connections can be established with Internet remote hosts or to service nodes within the network.

SMS Network Services

A device will have the capability to send (i.e. originate) alphanumeric messages. The System will acknowledge receipt of a message and then attempt to deliver the message to the designated recipient. End to end acknowledgment can be made available upon special request, (i.e. the sender receiving a confirmation that the designated recipient received the message) but may be limited due to certain limitations within the device or proper SMPP protocol utilization.

An active telephone number is used to reference the device for SMS Services. Device-to-Device, SMPP Short Code and SMPP Virtual Number communications are available.

SMPP Connectivity

The protocol required to access the SMS-C environment is SMPP (version 3.4). Physical interconnection to the SMS-C environment can be via VPN or regular Internet.

Under this configuration, access to the Short Message Service Center (SMS-C) environment will be given to the customer via an agreed upon gateway, which will interface with Customer’s application server. It handles the SMS messages delivered to or, submitted from, the subscribing device.

Services are defined as follows:

  1. SMS Mobile Originate (SMS MO) - SMS (MO) can be sent using either a remote application server to exchange short messages with subscribers on the System or utilizing Short Message Service (SMS) to exchange messages from device to device.
  2. SMS Mobile Terminate (SMS MT) - SMS (MT) can be either to a remote application server or a GSM device.
  3. Short Codes - Short Codes are typically six digit routing numbers that are used to identify a specific application for the purpose of routing and billing. Short Codes can be provisioned upon special request provided there is sufficient lead-time. Restrictions on the number or Short Codes provisioned may apply subject to availability.
  4. Virtual Number – Virtual Numbers are provisioned 10-digit numbers dedicated to each STANZA SYSTEMS account, used to identify a specific application or route. Virtual number connections provide 2-way communication to/from third party (non-STANZA SYSTEMS) PCS networks worldwide.
Usage Services for Customer Billing

If contracted, STANZA SYSTEMS will provide Customer with a detailed monthly usage file in a STANZA SYSTEMS standard electronic file format, inclusive of account activity by Subscriber.

SIM Card Activation

Customer will activate their device by utilizing the Diversenet.Net web portal. Should Customer elect to activate manually, this can be done by calling STANZA SYSTEMS Customer Services during normal business hours. Activations will normally be completed within 4 Business Hours of request. There may be an additional charge for this service.

SIM Card Deactivation

STANZA SYSTEMS will deactivate individual SIM cards where STANZA SYSTEMS or its partners suspects fraudulent use, misuse, loss or theft of a SIM card. Customer deactivation of SIM cards may be completed via the Diversenet.Net portal or by phone directly during normal business hours, or to STANZA SYSTEMS Technical Support line outside of STANZA SYSTEMS operating hours. All requests made during Business Hours will be completed within 2 Business Hours.

Interconnection and Interface

Customer will establish and use suitable Computer Systems and related processes and procedures to interface with STANZA SYSTEMS computer systems,which are satisfactory in both form and function to STANZA SYSTEMS at its own cost and expense.

Virtual Number – Virtual Numbers are provisioned 10-digit numbers dedicated to each STANZA SYSTEMS account, used to identify a specific application or route. Virtual number connections provide 2-way communication to/from third party (non-STANZA SYSTEMS) PCS networks worldwide. If Customer does not comply with the foregoing requirements, and such non-compliance threatens to interfere with the operation of the STANZA SYSTEMSSystem, including computer systems, STANZA SYSTEMS will (where practical) notify the Customer in writing that temporary discontinuance of access by theCustomer to the System may be required. When prior notice is not practical, STANZA SYSTEMS may temporarily discontinue such access, without notifying the Customer. In cases of such temporary discontinuance, the Customer will be notified verbally and in writing as soon as possible after the temporary discontinuance and afforded the opportunity to correct the situation. The System may be interconnected with other communications networks. The use of such communications networks by the Customer as part of its access to the System is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of STANZA SYSTEMS’s contractual arrangements for such interconnection to the System(s).

Coverage

The coverage provided by STANZA SYSTEMS is defined by the service areas of its Network Operator partners in North America and International markets and can be determined by going to STANZA SYSTEMS Diversenet.Net Web Portal.

The Services provided internationally to the Customer are made available through Roaming agreements with other Network Operators. STANZA SYSTEMS and its partners provide support through more than 270 roaming partners, which may change without prior notice.
