SMA16/4 is a synchronous multiplexer providing terminal, add/drop and cross connect functionality. Its comprehensive set of interfaces and features makes SMA16/4 the future proof key to profitable metropolitan and edge network solutions.
Benefits:
SMA16/4 represents a flexible and future-proof solution to build customized network infrastructures that can improve your competitive edge. It features:
- Low investment costs and minimal planning effort due to versatile applicability and high scalability.
- Low operating costs because of its high reliability, best manageability, easy upgradeability and compact design.
- Higher service availability and customer satisfaction due to efficient protection.
- Best network efficiency and new revenue streams thanks to transparent Ethernet services, RPR and contiguous concatenation.
Cost-cutting Flexibility, Scalability and Reliability
SMA16/4 can act as a terminal or add/drop multiplexer or as a local cross-connect within point-to-point, ring, chain or meshed topologies. Its modular design allows for a cost-efficient adaptation to the required application and offers outstanding upgradeability and scalability. For example, it can be upgraded from STM-4 applications to STM-16 without affecting the running traffic or needing painful reconfiguration. This helps you not only to keep up with growing capacity requirements and changing service demands, but also to control your investment costs on a pay-as-you grow basis.
What’s more, SMA16/4 is fully integrated into Siemens’ management solutions, which slashes the operational costs, leads to fast service provisioning and maintains your competitive edge. SMA16/4 is an extremely reliable system that supports the complete range of protection and correction schemes which reduces maintenance effort and operational costs. Moreover it guarantees highest service availability and thus increases your customer’s satisfaction and boosts your competitiveness.

Cost-optimized Multi-service Transparency
SMA16/4 optimizes your network efficiency by minimizing the amount of equipment and saving valuable space:
- It only takes one sub-rack to support an extensive amount of TDM, STM and Ethernet interfaces.
- Its 10/100 BaseT and GbE interfaces allow for cost-efficient interconnection of LAN or ATM networks and enable you to offer value-added services that generate new revenue streams.
- Its concatenation conversion permits clear channel interfaces of routers to be connected directly. The low-cost router interfaces result in reduced expenses and allow a more efficient pay-load utilization and new clear channel services you can offer to your customers.
- Its embedded RPR switch provides advanced features like customer separation, and bandwidth QoS management, enabling you to meet service level agreements and to maximize network profitability.
Supporting Efficient Metropolitan and Regional Applications
Regional and metropolitan areas are characterized by rapid growth of bandwidth-intensive database services such as Internet, video, corporate and business applications. Thanks to its versatility and high degree of service integration SMA16/4 provides the ideal solution to meet these requirements in a cost-efficient manner:
- Unrestricted, non-blocking switching matrix up to 64 x STM-1 equivalents with VC-4, VC-3, VC-2 and VC 12 granularity for bi-directional, broadcast and drop-and-continue connections.
- Exhaustive set of electrical and optical traffic interfaces covering 2 Mbit/s, 34 Mbit/s, 45 Mbit/s, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s.
- Extensive protection schemes: 1+1MSP; multiple MS-SPRing (BSHR); SNC/P and card protection. Moreover, SMA16/4 fits perfectly into areas where industry, banks, office buildings, campuses and ISPs are concentrated.
Its RPR switching technology allows for shared virtual packet rings to ensure the best network efficiency. It also enables the interconnection of LANs, switches and routers by supporting point-to-point links for the transparent transport of IP traffic over long distances.
- Embedded packet switch according to RPR technology.
- Ethernet transparent LAN bridges with 10 BaseT, Fast Ethernet and GbE ports.
- Clear channel support using contiguous and virtual concatenation techniques with converter on board.
Building Backbones and Feeding Ultra-high Capacity Networks
As one single platform SMA16/4 provides 2.5 Gbit/s line capacity along with access down to 2 Mbit/s streams and cross-connect functionality at VC-12 level. This makes it the ideal solution for 2.5 Gbit/s backbones featuring the lowest investment, management and maintenance costs. It can be configured for long-distance applications as well as a local cross-connect to perform grooming, consolidation and interring connection functionality.
SMA16/4 is prepared to a backbone application, due to:
- Improved transmission quality and reachable distance with Forward Error Correction (FEC).
- Long-haul interfaces with optical boosters and preamplifiers.
- SONET interworking support.
