Lightware has expanded its partnership with NETGEAR by integrating their respective online training platforms, offering cross-access to AVoIP certification content and signal management courses aimed at AV professionals and integrators. Both sets of content are targeted at users working with combined Lightware-NETGEAR systems in pro AV environments.
The collaboration sees Lightware Academy courses – focusing on topics such as USB-C, room automation and AV0IP – added to the NETGEAR Academy. In return, NETGEAR’s AVoIP certification training is now accessible via Lightware’s platform.
To support the initiative, the two companies will co-host a joint webinar this autumn, introducing the training integration and announcing an upcoming NETGEAR + Lightware Day in Düsseldorf, featuring in-person workshops, guest speakers, and live product demonstrations.
Lightware’s training includes its UBEX Level 1-3 courses, already live on NETGEAR Academy, while NETGEAR’s Level 1 AV-over-IP Certification is currently available on Lightware Academy, with higher levels to follow. The integration is aimed at speeding up learning for installers and end-users who regularly deploy the two manufacturers’ technologies together.
Tibor Fejes, head of training at Lightware Academy, said: “This partnership is a natural next step in giving our customers the knowledge they need to build and configure sophisticated systems. The partnership will allow our training videos to reach more users whilst delivering a more comprehensive AVoIP learning experience to our existing Academy users.”
He added: “By combining NETGEAR’s networking expertise with Lightware’s signal management innovations, we’re creating a training ecosystem that mirrors the needs of real-world installations.”
