SMG104 IP/MPLS Router
Simgenet IP/MPLS Router
SMG104 IP/MPLS Router
Simgenet SMG104 is a modular IP/MPLS router platform running on the in-house developed SMGOS software. Designed for telecom, ISP and critical infrastructure networks with Segment Routing, MPLS-TE, BGP and IEEE 1588 PTP v2 support.
Modular IP/MPLS Platform for Service Providers and Critical Infrastructures
SMG104 is built on SMGOS, designed from scratch by Simgenet engineers. No third-party router software is used; protocol behavior, CLI outputs and all service logic are entirely under Simgenet control. This architecture enables customization, rapid updates and local technical support.
Thanks to its Cisco IOS-like CLI structure, existing network teams can master the platform without additional training. Full configuration support is also available through the web-based management interface.
In-House Developed SMGOS IP/MPLS Software Infrastructure
SMGOS, running on SMG104, is an IP/MPLS routing operating system fully developed in-house by Simgenet.
- No dependency on third-party routing software
- Provides full control, customizability and long-term sustainability
- Features an architecture optimized for critical infrastructure and service provider networks
SMGOS is designed to respond to changes in network topology at millisecond level.

Built-in SIP Server (VoIP)
Thanks to the Asterisk-based built-in SIP Server running on the SMGOS operating system, the router can also function as a basic IP telephone exchange. In locations without a telephone exchange, SIP numbers obtained from the ISP can be directly assigned to the router for VoIP communication.
- Unlimited SIP Extensions: Any number of internal lines can be defined as needed
- ISP SIP Trunk Integration: Directly integrates with SIP numbers obtained from the service provider
- Basic PBX Functions: Internal calls, call forwarding, dial plan support
- Management: Configuration via CLI (Web interface is under development)
