SMG818V5 Industrial IP/MPLS Router

Modular IP/MPLS Platform for Critical Infrastructures

SMG818V5 is a modular IP/MPLS platform designed for long-term, uninterrupted operation in energy transmission systems, railway communication infrastructures, telecom and ISP backbones. Running on the in-house developed SMGOS software infrastructure by Simgenet, this platform provides an engineering-driven solution for critical backbone scenarios with advanced routing and MPLS capabilities, IEEE 1588v2 PTP time synchronization support and scalable hardware architecture from 1G to 100G.

SMG818V5, where software and hardware are developed together, targets high continuity, fast convergence and predictable performance at edge, aggregation and service access layers.

In-House Developed SMGOS IP/MPLS Software Infrastructure

SMGOS, running on SMG818V5, 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.

Technical Comparison Table

Which Model Should You Choose?

All models run the same SMGOS software and the same protocol set. Model selection should be based not on software capabilities, but on environmental durability requirements, port/uplink capacity and physical space.

Criterion 1: Environmental Conditions

Criterion 2: Port / Uplink Capacity

Criterion 3: Physical Space
