Hi,

Is it possible to install and use this open source SMPP sms server with traccar :

There's a few SMPP options, but SMPP has not been adopted widely for end user -> SMS provider. It's mainly used for various high-volume provider<>provider interchanges or special integration scenarios.

Almost every provider of SMS services will expose their magic via some HTTP API of some nature, which is also easily supported by traccar.

If you have a reason you want to act as a provider (which Jasmin seems to accommodate), perhaps it will work for you. Most people just buy service from someone on the internet like Twilio.

We use:
Traccar <-> SMPP protocol <-> OpenSMPP box <-> Kannel <-> multiple GSM modems (for backup each with prepaid SIM with flat rate SMS). Mind that this is bidirectional including DLR.
The inbound/outbound SMS traffic is quite low for Traccar so I use the same Kannel server also for Nagios, Asterisk, software development, testing, e.t.c.
As volume dimensioning we can send/receive succesfully between 600-1200 SMS per hour over each modem.
We use multiple modems (each modem has a different SIM GSM network) only as a backup since our traffic needs are much lower than the hardware supports.
