The objective of the alliance between Savant and NETGEAR is to create networking solutions that are optimized for the Savant smart home ecosystem, streamlining design, installation and service processes for integration professionals. Additionally, Savant and NETGEAR are working on a strategic roadmap of new products and services exclusive to and optimized for Savant.

Savant and NETGEAR are also collaborating on the companies’ cloud-based management platforms (Savant SCM and NETGEAR Insight) to provide network monitoring and management capabilities.

NETGEAR devices, including the 10G M4300 switches that power Savant’s video-over-IP solutions, previously have been obtainable on the Savant store. Integrators can now expect a broader range of NETGEAR products to be available on the Savant store, with all purchases counting toward their yearly incentive program.
