Collaboration strengthens IP-based media transport with integrated switching, processing, and ST 2110-ready capabilities.
NETGEAR and Riedel Communications have entered a global technology partnership aimed at advancing the adoption of AV-over-IP solutions across broadcast, live events, and commercial AV markets. The collaboration brings together NETGEAR’s M4350 series managed switches with Riedel’s MediorNet MuoN A processing SFPs, delivering decentralized ST 2110 gateway functionality over standard IP networks.
The partnership begins with Riedel adding NETGEAR’s M4350-16V4C Fully Managed Switch (VSM4320C) to its portfolio—a high-performance 25G/100G switch engineered for demanding media environments. With 25G SFP28 ports, 100G uplinks, and built-in SMPTE ST 2110 Grandmaster and Boundary Clock features, the switch strengthens the backbone required for reliable, synchronized, and scalable media-over-IP deployments.
“We are streamlining workflows for a rapidly evolving IP future.” — Louis Caron
NETGEAR’s platforms are well-established in the AV community for their simplicity, predictable performance, and deep integration capabilities. By pairing these with Riedel’s MediorNet processing and routing architecture, customers gain a tightly aligned ecosystem that reduces configuration complexity and enhances the stability of IP-based signal distribution.
The shift to IP workflows is accelerating globally as broadcasters, event companies, and systems integrators seek more flexible, interoperable, and cost-efficient infrastructure. This collaboration addresses many of those demands by offering a unified framework that supports distributed video, audio, and data transport without the proprietary limitations of traditional systems.
“This partnership brings reliable, easy-to-implement AV-over-IP to the market.” — Richard Jonker
In announcing the partnership, Louis Caron, Senior Product Manager Video at Riedel Communications, noted that the combined solution enables more streamlined, reliable, and scalable deployments for customers transitioning to ST 2110 and other IP standards.
Similarly, Richard Jonker, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at NETGEAR, emphasized the need for robust, easy-to-deploy networking foundations as the industry moves deeper into IP-centric production models.
With this alliance, both companies are positioning themselves at the forefront of the next wave of AV-over-IP innovation—one defined by open standards, interoperability, and operational simplicity across markets worldwide.
