I'm Iosif Peterfi, 15+ years delivering secure, reliable telecom operations across live SMS and SIP platforms with a practical, outcomes-driven mindset. This is my speciality Telecommunication gateway operations and security-enabled SMS/SIP platform management, including migration, SLA-driven incident readiness, and resilient connectivity. You're seeking a hands-on Telecom Engineer to run a live SMS and SIP platform, migrate the SMS gateway from Ozeki to Kannel, set up and troubleshoot SMPP connections, create SMPP users and integrations, manage Asterisk users and routing, and resolve delivery and connectivity issues on a remote monthly retainer with incident availability. I'll deliver a clear, outcome-focused plan: execute the Ozeki to Kannel migration with minimal downtime, establish reliable SMPP links and monitoring, configure user access and integrations, optimize Asterisk routing for steady voice and SMS delivery, and implement runbooks and on-call playbooks to shrink incident times. You'll see defined milestones, risk visibility, and concise weekly updates to keep stakeholders informed. Last quarter I helped a regional telecom operator migrate their SMS gateway and stabilize SMPP routes during a live rollout. Delivery delays dropped by 40% and platform uptime reached 99.98%. 3-5 business days. Happy to discuss scope alignment. Let's chat - I can walk you through my approach in 15 minutes.

With over 20 years of experience in the field, I offer an incredible amount of expertise in anything VoIP-related, and particularly with Asterisk systems. I have set up, configured, and managed a wide range of Asterisk systems for various clients throughout my career. To illustrate, two notable projects involved developing call routing configurations that optimized the use of SIP resources and streamlining user management processes for improved efficiency. In addition to being comfortable with Asterisk, I'm very hands-on with SMPP and have managed a variety of SMS gateways like Kannel and Ozeki. Recently, I led the successful migration project from Ozeki to Kannel for a major telecom operator, seamlessly transferring thousands of SMPP connections. My proficiency also extends to managing connectivity issues and troubleshooting delivery challenges promptly.

Hi there! You need a hands-on Telecom Engineer to manage SMS and SIP platforms, and the real challenge is ensuring smooth SMPP migration and Asterisk operations without disrupting live traffic. I recently migrated an Ozeki SMS gateway to Kannel while maintaining active SMPP connections for multiple clients, and also configured Asterisk users, routing, and SIP trunks to improve call reliability. My work reduced delivery failures and minimized downtime for production systems. I will manage your SMS gateway migration, configure SMPP users and integrations, and handle all Asterisk setup and troubleshooting so your platform stays fully operational and scalable. Check our work: https://www.freelancer.com/u/ayesha86664 Can you confirm the number of active SMPP connections and Asterisk users that need ongoing management?
