ProAV-focused M4250 and M4300 series switches recommended as a top choice when using industry pioneer AMX SVSI AV over IP products<\/p>\n

San Jose, CA \u2013 Sept. 1, 2021 – NETGEAR\u00ae, Inc<\/a> . (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of networking products that power businesses both large and small, today announced a preferred vendor relationship with AMX by HARMAN, the industry pioneer in AV over IP technology. NETGEAR professional AV switches are now the recommended choice for all AMX AV over IP installations worldwide. AMX AV solutions are used around the world in a range of corporate, education and government applications.<\/p>\n

The AMX SVSI line of networked AV products represents more than 10 years of experience in the burgeoning AV over IP market backed by the power of HARMAN Professional Solutions, a strategic business unit of HARMAN International, a Samsung Company. After comprehensive testing, the AMX team verified that the NETGEAR M4250 and M4300 series of switches provide the best experience for their most discerning customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur AMX N-Series of networked AV products combined with the NETGEAR Pro AV switches provide a fantastic solution,\u201d noted Jamie Trader, Vice President, Video & Control at HARMAN Professional Solutions. \u201cIn addition to the HARMAN Video & Control group, our Audio and Lighting groups will also benefit from the many features built into these switches \u2013 especially Power over Ethernet (PoE). No other switch manufacturer delivers the same performance and feature set.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relationship between the two companies also includes AMX\u2019s development of an integration module for the M4300 switches to monitor network status. Leveraging AMX\u2019s Remote Management Suite (RMS) and the NETGEAR M4300 application programing interface (API) will help customers ensure the network is running smoothly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that AMX recommends NETGEAR switches for SVSI deployments,\u201d remarked Laurent Masia, Director of Product Line Management for Managed Switches. \u201cOur collective efforts to achieve interoperability and technology integration will result in a superior experience for Harman\u2019s customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professional AV Switches<\/p>\n

Leveraging the successful M4300 line of managed switches, NETGEAR designed the new M4250 series of switches from the ground up with input from the AV community. NETGEAR drew upon over 25 years of networking experience to ensure these Pro AV-targeted switches had what it takes for the demanding rigors of sending audio, video, and control signals over an IP network. As a result, NETGEAR is fast becoming the most recommended switch vendor for AV over IP deployments.<\/p>\n

M4250 Series Switches<\/p>\n

The new AV Line of M4250 switches are engineered for AV over IP and designed for clean integration in an AV rack, under a table, or behind a display. Models with PoE+ and Ultra 90 PoE++ allow powering of AV endpoints and more. Built with NETGEAR IGMP Plus\u2122, Auto-LAG, and Auto-Trunk for automatic and dynamic configuration \u2013 even with multiple switches.<\/p>\n

The easy-to-use AV interface helps integrators conquer the typically tedious AV over IP switch configurations. The installer need only select the protocol or vendor and then select the applicable ports. From there, the NETGEAR M4250 will automate the remainder of the configuration, resulting in less time spent on the network configuration and more time focusing on the other parts of the installation.<\/p>\n

M4300 Series Switches<\/p>\n

The widely respected M4300 series switches offer a variety of models to address customer\u2019s port count and connectivity requirements. They can also be stacked, thus enabling larger AV configurations. NETGEAR IGMP Plus ensures robust multicast performance without fear of flooding the network. The M4300 is PoE+ capable, has a non-blocking backplane, and is designed to deliver superior multicast performance for a range of AV over IP protocols.<\/p>\n

Wide Range of Applications<\/p>\n

From conference rooms to college campuses to sports and performing arts venues, the NETGEAR M4250 and M4300 switches have already been proven around the world. The strategic relationship with AMX by HARMAN enables the most advanced AV solutions using IP technology.<\/p>\n
