Netgear to showcase networking and storage solutions at Gitex

NETGEAR is set to stage an extensive participation at the upcoming ‘GITEX 2009’, where it will showcase a unique selection of advanced networking, storage and entertainment solutions. The company’s move to strengthen its presence at the high profile event is aimed at leveraging the growing prospects within the region’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. This year, NETGEAR will be at stand ZQ1 in Zabeel Hall of the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 18 to 22, 2009.

A report entitled ‘Middle East ICT Market Analysis’ confirmed that the region is witnessing strong growth in the ICT sector in the recent years, which is driven by sizeable government investments into the development of the market. Furthermore, the booming sales of consumer electronics, as well as the increasing dependence of the SMB sector towards technology, poses excellent opportunities for manufacturers of networking, storage and entertainment solutions in the region. Addressing the requirements of the regional market, NETGEAR is set to unveil its latest offerings, including its ‘ProSafe Wireless Access Point’ for high-performance wireless local area networks; ‘ReadyNAS’ network storage system, and the ‘XAVB1004’ home theatre Internet connection kit, at the event.

“Our participation at this year’s GITEX plays a significant part in our regional strategy to leverage the ICT market in the Middle East,” said Ahmad Zeidan, Channel Sales Manager, NETGEAR Middle East. “Since we began our participation in GITEX, we have recognised and benefited from its strength as a platform to showcase our products and drive the NETGEAR brand as a total networking and storage solution provider for the SMB sector. This year, we are very eager to unveil our latest technology-driven offerings specifically designed for the requirements of our regional clients.”
