Security-Driven Architecture

Gauntlet's secure architecture is comprised of four interoperable software/hardware components (applications may include IP and/or Dial-up Gateways):

Gauntlet's distributed design provides greater resiliency than a typical centralized topology. Even if a control center or other component were to experience failure, unaffected parts of the system remain fully operational.

Painless Migration

Gauntlet supports legacy and current requirements while enabling a smooth transition to tomorrow's technology. Mixed environments of Teltone legacy SLSS hardware and secure Gateways are supported, enabling a phased deployment; SLSS units are factory-upgradeable to the secure Gateway. Your existing IEDs, modems, and other communications infrastructure are undisturbed, minimizing capital expenditures and accelerating the path to NERC CIP compliance.
