Case Study: Rhodes Research achieves resilient, high-performing AV systems with NETGEAR M4300 switches

Rhodes Research driving AV quality and resilience - with some help from NETGEAR’s M4300

Rhodes Research, a New Mexico-based AV systems integrator for commercial and government clients, faced the challenge of delivering high-performance and truly resilient network systems for its critical Pro AV installations. Seeking a switch to complement Crestron equipment that could guarantee reliability and easy integration, they turned to NETGEAR and its M4300 series switches.

NETGEAR’s solution provided the robust, scalable, and flexible infrastructure Rhodes Research required. The M4300’s stacking architecture, built-in DHCP server for resilience, and features like link dependency enabled the design of fault-tolerant systems with graceful recovery and seamless failover for clients like the Utah National Guard. The result is a highly reliable AV infrastructure with swift recovery times, leading to high customer satisfaction and the continued recommendation of NETGEAR products for future projects.
