The SDVoE Alliance has announced that Anixter International, a global distributor of network and security systems has joined the alliance as an adopting member.
“We share the vision of the SDVoE Alliance that Ethernet is the technology that can and will transport all kinds of data. Since it's standardisation by the IEEE in 1983, the Ethernet protocol ushered in a new age in computing where device communication could be achieved via a single protocol environment operating over a standardised cabling infrastructure. Much like VoIP and physical security systems, AV applications are also taking advantage of operating over an IP-based infrastructure. The SDVoE Alliance is on the forefront of developing next generation technologies for the AV industry", says Andrew Jimenez, vice president of technology for Anixter.
“Anixter’s membership in the SDVoE Alliance is a perfect fit, not least because they are a distribution partner for many of our existing members,” said Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance. “We look forward to collaborating with Anixter’s global training organisation to help educate systems integrators and end users about SDVoE physical infrastructure that supports the entire seven-layer OSI networking framework, with solutions at every layer.”
