BACKGROUND

Founded in February 2003, Arteris IP provides Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect semiconductor intellectual property (IP) to System on Chip (SoC) makers to help reduce chip development time, increase margins, and accelerate performance. Being the industry leader, Arteris invented the first commercial NoC SoC interconnect IP solution, FlexNoC, and the first highly-configurable cache coherent interconnect IP, Ncore, which are used by notable design teams such as Samsung, Toshiba, Huawei / HiSilicon, Mobileye (Intel), Altera (Intel), and Texas Instruments.

With a focus on providing innovative SoC interconnect IP technologies for an array of applications from automobiles to mobile phones, strong network technology enables Arteris IP to serve its customers.

Stéphane Mehat, Chief Financial Officer, manages Arteris IP’s financial strategy, accounting, taxes, HR, and administration, and also oversees the company’s IT management. His nimble team includes IT manager, Bhavin, an accountant, and office managers to support both the California, France, and Texas locations.

PROBLEM/OBJECTIVE

Like other thriving small businesses in Silicon Valley, Arteris IP is based primarily in Campbell, California, but also operates globally. Stéphane was using a competitor’s devices in the Arteris IP France office and was beginning to set up a new office in Austin, Texas. Managing and troubleshooting wireless access points remotely was cumbersome, wasting time and resources to have local employees spend time outside of their roles to troubleshoot or having Stéphane to VPN in to assist in setup. Not only were his existing Wireless APs 5 times more expensive than NETGEAR Insight managed devices but 15% of Stéphane’s time was also spent managing the company’s network, which resulted in lost productivity.

SOLUTION

After extensive industry research, Stéphane decided on the NETGEAR Insight managed solution because the setup, monitoring, and management could be done from anywhere and on any device. Through installing a NETGEAR Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point and Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch in Arteris IP’s Austin, France, and Campbell offices, Stéphane has been able to fully manage his APs from his Campbell work network, home office or travelling, whether is it through the web GUI or mobile app. He registered all his NETGEAR switches through the Insight app within minutes and has experienced zero wireless downtime since the installation. The NETGEAR Insight app’s convenience allows Stéphane to manage all his NETGEAR devices from his hand.

FUTURE

With NETGEAR’s Insight Managed 28-port Smart Cloud switches, GC728X and GC728XP, Stéphane plans to add these 28-port switches to Arteris IP’s California headquarters office. Since he travels extensively to different sites, he looks forward to managing these devices remotely with NETGEAR Insight. Moreover, Insight Premium is affordable and attractive to him due to the intuitive Insight Cloud Portal. Through the portal, Stéphane will be able to have a single-pane-of-glass view of all his NETGEAR devices and their respective locations from any device on a larger screen – ideal for configuring larger port-count switches like the GC728X and GC728XP. Overall, Stéphane is happy with the market-leading warranty and affordability of NETGEAR devices and seeing NETGEAR beyond a home product company.
