April 30, 2025 – SAN JOSE, Calif.<\/strong> \u2013 NETGEAR\u00ae Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global leader in intelligent networking solutions designed to power extraordinary experiences, today unveiled a bold new vision to meet the growing business demand for seamless, scalable, and secure connectivity. NETGEAR for Business is evolving its mission to serve small to medium enterprises by sharpening its focus on delivering next-generation networking solutions that provide simplicity, reliability and cost-effectiveness without compromising on the proven expertise and innovation for which NETGEAR is known.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor nearly 30 years, NETGEAR has been the trusted force behind the world\u2019s most critical connections\u2014powering businesses, ideas, and experiences across the globe. But the business world is evolving quickly and so are we. Networking is no longer just about being online; it\u2019s about leveraging that connection to drive innovation, collaboration and experiences,\u201d said CJ Prober, NETGEAR CEO. \u201cIn this next era of NETGEAR we\u2019re stripping away complexity, removing friction, and reimagining what business networking can be so that our customers don\u2019t just keep up with change, they lead it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Revolutionizing Business Connectivity<\/h2>\n

At the helm of this evolution is NETGEAR for Business President and GM Pramod Badjate, an industry leader with deep expertise in networking with experience at\u00a0Arista, Ruckus, and Cisco. Since joining nine months ago, Badjate has been driving a strategic repositioning to make NETGEAR the go-to partner for small and medium enterprises facing increasing digital demands. NETGEAR has experienced rapid growth in this segment, with over 15% revenue expansion last quarter and double-digit growth forecasted for 2025.<\/p>\n

Badjate is directing significant investment in product and technology innovations while building a high-caliber team across\u00a0all functions to ensure NETGEAR meets the needs of its customers while making the business relationship exceptionally easy. Over the next three years, the company plans to accelerate its investment in R&D to enhance its current business offerings. The first key milestone is the acquisition of VAAG Systems<\/a>, a creator of cutting-edge embedded and cloud software solutions based in Chennai India. This investment allows NETGEAR to accelerate the in-sourcing of a software development capability and this team will form the foundation of NETGEAR\u2019s new Chennai-based Software Development Center. This new team brings a wealth of industry expertise with experience from companies such as Qualcomm, HP, Cisco and MaxLinear and will focus on leveraging AI to simplify networking for the small and medium enterprise.<\/p>\n

Each new development or addition follows a clear mandate:\u00a0help businesses escape clunky, fragmented networks that lack support or bloated, overpriced systems packed with features they don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrent networking solutions don’t meet the needs of small and medium enterprises. They\u2019re stuck with either complex, overpriced systems meant for larger companies or fragmented solutions that don\u2019t integrate well and lack proper support,\u201d said Badjate. \u201cWe\u2019re changing that, offering an integrated solution that is much easier to deploy and manage for MSPs and small IT departments alike. We acknowledge the criticality of networking for these businesses and do not compromise on reliability and support. ”<\/p>\n

NETGEAR AV: A Future Built on AV-over-IP<\/h2>\n

NETGEAR Business is also a\u00a0pioneer in AV-over-IP technology, helping businesses, customers, and employees power and connect to\u00a0extraordinary experiences. Recognizing the surge in demand for\u00a0seamless video integration, the AV division has built a\u00a0robust ecosystem of more than 400 industry partners, supported by a\u00a0portfolio of preconfigured solutions, cutting-edge design services, and ongoing education. Under\u00a0Badjate\u2019s leadership, this\u00a0high-growth segment\u00a0will expand its offerings in\u00a0commercial, broadcast and residential AV, cementing NETGEAR\u2019s role at the\u00a0intersection of AV and IT.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom concert halls and command & control centers to stadiums and boardrooms, NETGEAR AV powers the world\u2019s most impactful audio-visual experiences,\u201d said Badjate. \u201cThere has never been a more exciting time to be a partner or customer of NETGEAR. We are delivering plug and play AV solutions that just work by deleting the complexity of an AV over IP network. Our partners, in turn, realize huge savings in labor costs compared to traditional solutions.”<\/p>\n

In the coming months, NETGEAR will continue to unveil new products, programs, and partnerships designed to push the boundaries of innovation, ensuring that the company\u2019s business customers stay ahead of the curve with AI-driven advancements, seamless scalability and cutting-edge solutions.<\/p>\n
