Axis increases its focus on IP intercom with 2N
Axis acquires 2N, a specialist in IP intercom, primarily addressing the growing market for IP-based video intercom systems.
The enterprise 2N headquartered in Prague, is active not only in IP-Intercom but also in IP-Audio and IP-Intercom for elevators. The company with about 200 employees relies on established sales channels which include electricians, installers for the telecommunication sector as well as manufacturers of elevators, such as Axis writes. This is a useful addition to Axis' existing global sales channels. "Together with 2N, we can now serve the increased customer demand for integrated solutions with open standards and further strengthen our goal to make the world safer and smarter," says Peter Lindström, Vice President New Business at Axis Communications.
The 2N brand will be retained and the company will be managed as a subsidiary within the Axis Group. The cooperation covers the following areas: Exchange of know-how, mutual support in research and development, and joint efforts to expand market access. An important point for both companies is to accelerate the convergence of analog systems to IP intercom and to generate new opportunities in this area.
