BAS-IP and NETGEAR Announce Strategic Alliance
BAS-IP and NETGEAR Announce Strategic Alliance to Create Certified Plug-and-Play Network Infrastructure for IP Intercom Systems
Rigorous testing confirms flawless compatibility of the entire BAS-IP product line with NETGEAR Pro-AV switches, providing installers with a guaranteed solution for reliable and high-performance deployments.
BAS-IP, an international leader in the development of IP intercom systems, and NETGEAR® Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global provider of innovative networking solutions, today announced a strategic partnership. This alliance officially certifies the full compatibility of all BAS-IP equipment with NETGEAR’s advanced Pro-AV line of switches, delivering a new level of reliability and simplicity for installers and end-users.
This alliance is publicly highlighted by BAS-IP’s inclusion on NETGEAR’s official Pro AV Partners page (https://www.netgear.com/business/solutions/proav-partners/), which showcases trusted manufacturers that guarantee compatibility for successful AV over IP deployments.
The Challenge of Network Complexity
Modern IP intercom systems, such as those from BAS-IP, use complex protocols, including SIP for calls, RTSP for video, and multicast for efficient stream delivery. Improper network configuration can lead to severe performance issues like choppy video, audio loss, and overall system instability. For many security system installers and AV professionals, configuring these settings is a complex and time-consuming task.
The Solution: A Tested and Certified Stack
To address this challenge, the companies conducted exhaustive testing using the NETGEAR M4250-10G2XF-POE+ switch [User Query]. All key functions were verified: audio and video calls, SIP and multicast protocol operation, RTSP video streaming, MQTT connection with the Link server, and Power over Ethernet (PoE+). The results demonstrated flawless system performance on both the standard ‘Data’ profile and the specialized ‘Video with Dante audio’ profile. NETGEAR features like IGMP Plus™ for automatic multicast setup and the intuitive AV GUI eliminate the need for complex manual configuration, allowing installers to deploy a perfectly tuned network in minutes.
Benefits for Partners and Customers
This partnership provides direct benefits for system integrators and installers:
- Reduced installation time: Eliminates the need for complex network setup.
- Fewer support calls: Guaranteed compatibility minimizes post-installation issues.
- Increased project profitability: Faster and more reliable deployments.
- Confidence in the result: The ability to offer clients a proven and reliable solution.
