Digitization will be enabled by better connectivity using wired and wireless infrastructure, access devices and storage devices. We believe that over time, the demand for wired and wireless networking equipment will increase and will drive considerable growth. Because of high data generation, demand for lower cost per TB devices will also go up. As a brand, NETGEAR is absolutely focussed on developing such products.
Practically only about 12 to 15% of India is really connected to the internet. Financial inclusion and digital inclusion go hand in hand and it is absolutely right to say that it is imperative that a greater proportion of consumption is serviced locally.
The vision of NETGEAR is to empower the common man and drive growth through improving broadband penetration and SMB infrastructure, and through expanding 3G/4G reach. From that point of view, NETGEAR vision is absolutely aligned with India's vision. The core strength of NETGEAR is the fact that we believe in democratization of technology. A lot of our R&D efforts are spent in creating products for SMBs and homes which in turn will bring more people onto the digital platform. The success mantra of NETGEAR is in making quality products available all across the country. Channels across the country are the biggest backbone of NETGEAR. We believe that we are the market leader in most categories of the market segments that we address."
