The EF-Data SMS-7000 is an M:N modem protection switch, extending beyond simple 1:1 redundancy to protect a pool of M working modems with N standby units, automatically reassigning traffic from a failed modem to an available spare. This architecture suits larger teleports and hub facilities running many simultaneous SCPC or point-to-point satellite circuits, where dedicating a full backup to every working unit would be uneconomical. The SMS-7000 monitors the status of all connected modems and manages switchover logic centrally, typically via a chassis-based system supporting multiple modem cards or external units, with remote monitoring and control interfaces for network operations centre integration. EF-Data’s SMS series was a recognised line of protection switching equipment for the satellite ground segment.
