NETGEAR AV Closes 2025 with Unprecedented Recognition and Strategic Momentum

Global Recognition Across Continents

NETGEAR AV’s influence continued to expand globally, earning prestigious recognition across three continents. We were honored to receive the Manufacturer of the Year from InAVate APAC, marking a significant milestone in our growing presence throughout the Asia-Pacific region. This recognition reflects the trust that integrators, consultants, and end users across diverse markets place in NETGEAR’s commitment to delivering reliable, accessible AV networking solutions.

Innovation That Speaks Volumes

At IBC2025 in Amsterdam, NETGEAR AV demonstrated why innovation matters. Our M4350 Network Switches earned the prestigious TVBEurope Best of Show Award, showcasing their exceptional performance in broadcast environments. The recognition highlighted what makes these switches transformative: multi-color LED port identification that provides instant visual network confirmation, built-in precision timing capabilities that eliminate the need for separate broadcast timing infrastructure, and support for the most demanding protocols, including SMPTE ST 2110.

Award-Winning Technology Making Waves

Industry recognition continued to pour in across multiple award programs:

• Systems & Video Contractor News (SVC) honored NETGEAR with dual wins in their Innovative Product Awards 2025:
  • M4350 Network Switches in the AV Over IP category, recognizing their purpose-built design that bridges professional AV requirements with deployment simplicity
  • Engage Controller 2.0 in the Apps/Software category, celebrating its unified management platform that handles switches, routers, and WiFi 7 access points through intelligent automation.

• TVB Europe further validated our software innovation with Media & Entertainment: Best in Market, recognizing the NETGEAR Engage Controller for its breakthrough approach to network management. The free platform transforms complex networking from a specialized skill requiring deep IT expertise into an intuitive, certified, profile-based experience accessible to any broadcast professional.

These awards validate NETGEAR’s fundamental approach: making sophisticated AV-over-IP technology accessible without sacrificing professional-grade performance.

Investing in Industry Knowledge

The AV industry’s shift to IP-based infrastructure has created a critical skills gap, and NETGEAR is addressing it head-on. The expanded NETGEAR Academy transformed from an internal training resource into the industry’s most comprehensive AV-over-IP education platform. Featuring free content from industry leaders, including Crestron, Dante by Audinate, Lightware, Sennheiser, Q-SYS, SDVoE Alliance, and more, the Academy has over 30,000 students.

We thank our teams, partners, and customers for making H2 2025 such a strong close. Here’s to continuing the momentum as we shape the future of AV-over-IP together.
