Which one for what
The clean decision guide for common Indian B2B scenarios. Pick the row that fits.
You run a substation or power utility
Hirschmann. IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 are non-negotiable here, and HiSecOS gives you the audit trail.
You need cellular uplinks for remote sites
Teltonika. Dual-SIM RUT routers with the RMS cloud are built for this, and the price fits a rollout across many sites.
A security audit is coming to your OT network
Hirschmann. The EAGLE40 firewall and deep packet inspection are the easier story to defend in front of an auditor.
You are watching the budget on a wide IoT rollout
Teltonika. The per-site cost is a fraction of the Hirschmann equivalent, and the 24-month warranty covers the fleet.
You are on a rail or transport network
Hirschmann. EN 50155 rail certification settles it. Teltonika suits the connected-vehicle edge, not the safety core.
