Nimans offers ITS Connectivity Solutions

Recently Nimans announced a strategic agreement with B2B full fibre provider ITS to boost Nimans Connect’s connectivity offering. The agreement will provide Nimans Connect’s MSP’s and resellers with access to a diverse choice of connectivity options through ITS’s suite of business-grade full fibre solutions, such as Internet Access with 3 plans – FibreBright, FibreLight and FibreOne, Wholesale Ethernet for Layer 2 partners and Value-Added services such as 4G backup, VoIP solutions, Broadband backup and fixed IPv4 addresses for customers running more than one internet facing service. These services will complement the delivery of Nimans’s audio-visual, unified communications and security solutions Andrew Cooper, Head of Nimans Connect division at Nimans said: “The partnership with ITS aligns with our mission to provide our resellers with access to best-in-class connectivity solutions which underpin the individual technology requirements of their end-customers. ITS’s portfolio addresses the differing demands on connectivity for businesses of all shapes and sizes; from the

provision of leased line services, to business broadband. This agreement will also help support organisations under increasing pressure to embrace future-proof fibre as legacy copper-based infrastructure is phased out.” Dave Ferry, Head of Partner Markets at ITS said: “We are delighted to announce our strategic partnership with Nimans. As our dedicated B2B full fibre network – which now reaches over 25% of all UK commercial premises – continues to expand, this agreement will drive further adoption of high-speed, reliable connectivity. This is crucial for driving business growth and advancing the UK’s digital transformation. Through this partnership, we are well-positioned to deliver the future-proof connectivity that businesses need to thrive in an increasingly digital economy.” This agreement comes hot on the heels of an earlier long-term agreement Sky Business signed with ITS this month to deliver robust, high capacity ethernet connectivity to businesses and other organisations across the UK, utilising ITS’s fibre and Sky Business’s core network to deliver high quality, ultrafast business-grade services.

NETGEAR AV and Crestron

NETGEAR’s AV-focused division, NETGEAR AV, has been recently launched to concentrate on the needs of both the commercial and residential custom integration AV markets. This includes products that are only available in the AV distribution channel, design teams for Pro AV and Pro WiFi installations, and software to help configure and manage wired and wireless networks. NETGEAR®, Inc. and Crestron Electronics, Inc recently announced that 4 models of the M4250 AV Line Series switches are now available directly through Crestron. Crestron will resell select NETGEAR AV switches as a part of the Crestron DM NAX™ Audio- over-IP and DM NVX® AV-over-IP solutions. NETGEAR AV’s M4250 line of switches are designed to work out of the box for most AV-over-IP installations – and this is the case for Crestron DM NAX and DM NVX endpoints as well. Most other network switches require

complex and time-consuming configurations to function properly. M4250 switches provide an incredibly simple configuration for AV- over-IP deployments, enabling streamlined integration with Crestron DM NAX and DM NVX solutions. The result is less time spent configuring the switch and more time to focus on the other parts of the installation. With both desktop and rackmount models, the M4250 switches offer multiple mounting options depending on the installation. All Crestron M4250 models provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) for single cable power and data delivery.

“As leaders in our respective spaces, NETGEAR and Crestron share a similar

vision for flawless AV-over-IP deployments,” said Laurent Masia, Director of Product Line Management, Managed Switches at NETGEAR. “We’re pleased to enhance our partnership ensuring our customers are able to bring their projects to life as seamlessly as possible.”
