Concord-based RuggedCom has won international recognition as a global market leader with over 50% market share for IEC 61850 routers and switches in Smart Grids according to a recent study by GlobalData.
“RuggedCom is proud to be noted as a market leader,” explains Marzio Pozzuoli, President and CEO of RuggedCom. “This achievement is the result of a deep understanding of our utility customers’ needs and the resultant hard work we’ve done in pioneering the development of IEC 61850 compliant Ethernet switches and routers for use in mission-critical applications such as the communications backbone of Smart Grid applications. We were the first to introduce Ethernet switches that not only met but exceeded IEC 61850-3 requirements for communications networks in electric utility substations as far back as 2002 and we continue to introduce new advances and innovations in communications technology for the electric power industry.”
The GlobalData report remarks that RuggedCom‘s vast range of products and reasonable price range has catapulted the company to the leading position. The report also notes that RuggedCom will maintain its market leadership position while continuing to be the top revenue earner in the US market for IEC 61850 compliant routers and switches.
