?We are excited at the prospect of working with ADI. IP based security-surveillance market is growing at a significantly fast pace in India and the SAARC region. The market size is already getting close to USD1B in India. Allied Telesis has created a very strong brand presence in the IP surveillance market in the last half a decade with numerous sizeable deployments across vertical markets. Surveillance networks are complex and unlike pure data networks require very high design skillsets. Also the surveillance networks need to have high levels of resiliency, latency standards, and importantly very high video processing capabilities. This is where Allied Telesis as a network equipment vendor stands out against its competition and is a preferred vendor amongst most customers. The association with ADI is very strategic and we believe it will further enhance our footprint, as well as reach, in this fast growing IP security and surveillance market through its large base of SI partners pan India.? said Mr Subhasish Gupta, Country Manager, India and SAARC at Allied Telesis.

ADI will immediately begin marketing and selling all of the Allied products nationwide.
