Netgear has joined the Ravenna community under its Netgear A/V brand to offer scalable AV-over-IP and wireless networking solutions to the commercial market. Netgear solutions are engineered specifically for AV-over-IP with out-of-the-box support for most networked A/V applications.

Netgear has been developing commercial network equipment for more than 25 years, and has become a market leading switch manufacturer for AV-over-IP. With its AV Line series of network switches, Netgear has reduced common installation frictions with preset profiles for AV-over-IP protocols, from one-room set-ups to very large A/V networks with thousands of endpoints.

‘We recognise the importance of key affiliations and associations that make the pro A/V industry work,’ says Netgear Director of Product Line Management for Managed Switches, Laurent Masia. ‘From integration partners around the world, to A/V companies helping to create new ways of working in pro A/V, Netgear maintains relationships with a number of organisations, and is pleased to add Ravenna to that esteemed company.’

‘Netgear is a renowned manufacturer of networking equipment for all major markets, servicing projects ranging from residential all the way up to enterprise-scale applications,’ says Andreas Hildebrand of ALC NetworX. ‘With Ravenna now stretching its legs into the pro A/V market, Netgear – with its pro A/V range of products and experience in the commercial market – is a valuable partner for the Ravenna partner community. Manufacturers and system integrators can benefit from Netgear’s industry-leading product suite and unmatched services and support.’
