Redington India and Microsemi Corporation have announced that Redington will distribute Microsemi's PowerDsine family of power over ethernet (PoE) midspan products.

Microsemi's PowerDsine midspan systems allow the delivery of standard-compliant PoE to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and network cameras.

Redington will initially sell Microsemi's PowerDsine products in India, yet both companies are considering expansion of the agreement to additional regions, such as the Middle East and Africa. The agreement with Redington will enable Microsemi to expand and enhance its PowerDsine customer service offering in India while meeting growing demand for its PoE products in the region.

"Signing Redington as a national distributor in India will enable us to stock, sell and support our products throughout this important and fast-growing region," said Yuval Barnea, vice president of the Systems Business for Microsemi.

"We hope to continue our global success, with more than 30 million PoE ports shipped to date," said Vikas Pinjarkar, Microsemi's India Sales Manager. "Redington not only provides Microsemi with an exceptionally strong channel sales partner, but also extends to our customers in India a premier service, logistics and support infrastructure."
