TEC Compliance Fuels EtherWAN’s India Market Drive

Significance of TEC Approval

The Department of Telecommunications, under the Ministry of Communications, authorizes the Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) in India for telecommunication product certifications in accordance with the Mandatory Testing Certification of Telecommunication Equipment (MTCTE) regulations. The “Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules” of September 5, 2017, mandate that all telecommunication equipment must undergo mandatory TEC testing and certification before being sold or imported into India.

Having said this, the TEC has recently added 12 products under Phase III and IV of the Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) to its testing list, effective from August 1, 2024. Among these products is the LAN switch.

EtherWAN’s TEC-Stamped Switches

As a leading manufacturer of Ethernet switches, EtherWAN proactively pursued TEC certification for its hardened-grade switches since Q4 of 2023, immediately after being notified. We are proud to announce that the certification process, which commenced at the start of 2024, has been successfully completed. As of August 1, 2024, the EX71000 and EX87000 series switches proudly bear the TEC mark and are available in India.. EtherWAN achieved the TEC certification with a close collaboration with Phoenix Contact India.

Anticipate More TEC-Certified Switches from EtherWAN

EtherWAN plans to have more switches TEC certified in the future, to accommodate various project needs and expand market reach. This strategic move shows EtherWAN’s dedication to the Indian market as well as being an accountable supplier complying with Indian government’s regulatory requirements.
