NEW NETGEAR LTE MODEMS KEEP BUSINESSES CONNECTED

BERLIN — September 1, 2016 — At the IFA 2016 trade show this week, NETGEAR®, Inc.(NASDAQ: NTGR), the leading provider of networking equipment for homes and small-to-medium businesses, will debut a new family of NETGEAR LTE Modems (URL) (LB111X) that offer instant 4G LTE connectivity in its simplest form to any Ethernet-enabled device. Businesses with sales teams or technicians deployed in the field will find these new mobile broadband modems offer an easy way to provide primary or fail-over Internet connectivity to keep business-critical equipment and services running 24/7.

The initial launch includes two NETGEAR LTE modems: the basic LB1110 for homes and small businesses, and the LB1111 with Power over Ethernet (PoE) for reliable network connectivity and power through a single Ethernet cable, for remote or larger office premises equipped with PoE infrastructure. The LTE Modems each have a simple Gigabit Ethernet port that enables them to act as a networking bridge to provide a 4G LTE connection to the Internet for a wireless router, gateway, switch, computer, security camera, or other Ethernet-enabled device. Moreover, once a router, gateway or switch is plugged into the LTE Modem’s Gigabit Ethernet port, it will be able to share the 4G mobile broadband connection and speeds with other WiFi or wired devices on the network.

Offering easy setup within minutes, a NETGEAR LTE Modem is a practical, instant Internet-without-wires solution for temporary offices at construction sites or emergency response command centers; for temporary retail locations such as kiosks or pop-up stores at trade shows, sporting events and festivals; or for mobile-only stores such as food trucks. It also provides a temporary “LTE in, Ethernet out” solution for a campground site or vacation cabin where a permanent wired internet solution is unnecessary. It can also serve as a primary Internet connection for rural homes, beachside villas, or mountain resorts in locations where cable or DSL wired connectivity is unavailable, inconvenient, or slow.

“LTE is spreading throughout the world and is the simplest way to get a mobile team up and running on the Internet within minutes, as well as providing a fail-over solution to avoid any risk of Internet downtime,” said Andrew Green, vice president of mobile network products at NETGEAR. “If you can’t get —or don’t need— a permanent wired solution, or simply want to use your legacy equipment for a pop-up business center, our new NETGEAR LTE Modems provide a bridge between your Ethernet devices and the Internet.”

Larger offices or remote office locations equipped with PoE infrastructure (such as NETGEAR ProSAFE® PoE/PoE+ switches) can use the PoE-enabled LB1111 LTE Modem to extend LTE access around the business premise. This PoE capability eliminates the requirement for a power outlet within reach, or the need to contract an electrician to run new dedicated wiring for power, making it easy for installers who are deploying video surveillance, wireless access points, and VoIP for their clients.

For businesses at risk from dropped connectivity through primary DSL or cable internet providers, the LTE Modems can serve as a fail-over solution, providing peace of mind that your Internet connection will be accessible 24/7 for business-critical equipment including security cameras, POS systems, and other wireless devices that need to stay online even when your DSL or cable is down.
