Lightware and NETGEAR Partner to Simplify AV-over-IP
Deployment for Professional Environments
Lightware, one of the leading manufacturers of connectivity solutions for the professional
integrated systems market and a pioneer in signal management, announced a higher-level partnership
with NETGEAR to deliver seamless AV-over-IP (AVoIP) deployments for a wide range of professional AV
environments.
Designed to meet the specific needs of professional AV users, the partnership enables integrators to
build dedicated AV networks that are easier to deploy, manage and scale, while giving IT teams the
reassurance of a proven, pre-validated solution.
NETGEAR AV's line of switches are now offered as part of a one-stop shop solution from Lightware,
pre-loaded with a Lightware configuration profile. This profile developed in a joint effort with
NETGEAR engineers eliminates the time and complexity of manual setup, enabling system integrators
and IT teams to create fully optimised, high-performance AV networks straight out of the box.
Netgear AV's switches, including the GVN-LWS-1G-26G4F-P (M4250-26G4F-PoE+) and
TPN-LWS-10G-24X4V-P
(M4350-24X4V) models, have been tested and verified for full compatibility with Lightware
AVoIP
products such as UBEX, GEMINI GVN, and TPN Ecosystem, such as Taurus TPN and HDMI-TPN products. The
result is a streamlined path to robust, scalable AV infrastructure that supports demanding use
cases, from corporate conference rooms and live event productions to digital signage and hospitality
AV systems.
For users, the solution provides a plug & play setup in the case of Geminin GVN and TPN products.
Meanwhile for the UBEX AVoverIP product it requires a one-click setup only for loading the Lightware
profile.
NETGEAR offers ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, 90 days of Technical Support via phone
and email, Lifetime Technical Support through online chat and Lifetime Next Business Day hardware
replacement for managed switches purchased through Lightware.
From mission-critical video delivery at live events and reliable digital signage in retail to
content sharing in the enterprise and streamlined content distribution for hotels, stadiums, and
venues., Lightware and NETGEAR's combined expertise enables users to unlock the full potential of
AV-over-IP without the complexity associated with legacy solutions.
"AV-over-IP continues to transform the way organisations think about connectivity and signal
distribution," said Gergely Vida, CEO, Lightware. "By partnering with NETGEAR, we're removing one of
the biggest pain points in AV network design, making it easy for our customers to deploy powerful,
future-ready systems with total confidence."
"Our collaboration with Lightware brings together two trusted names in AV technology to simplify and accelerate the deployment of AV-over-IP networks," commented Richard Jonker, Vice President Marketing & Business Development at NETGEAR AV. "Integrating our managed AV switches with Lightware’s configuration profiles enables customers to get up and running faster with a reliable, high-performance solution that works right out of the box."
