$450M
In the coming years,
billions of devices will need
to be networked.
Digital lifestyles
will increasingly transform
our daily routines.
Businesses will demand
a greater level of security
and scalability.
And, wireless products
will push the boundaries
of broadband connectivity.
Emerging networking applications will further fuel NETGEAR’s growth. Future innovations focusing on new ways
to leverage the power of the network are already in development in storage, digital entertainment, mobility, voice,
and security. As an example of the innovations to come, 60 million plus Skype VoIP customers will benefit from the
freedom of WiFi liberating their Skype calls from the PC using the NETGEAR Skype WiFi Phone. And with NETGEAR
ProSafe security solutions, small to medium business customers will enjoy the security benefits of SSL VPN, to date
only available to businesses large enough to afford an enterprise price.
In the decades to come even richer opportunities are ahead with new platforms for innovation emerging and
billions of devices to connect worldwide, covering typical computing and networking gear along with everything
from TV’s to stereos and surveillance cameras to thermostats. NETGEAR remains focused on expanding our geo-
graphic reach and building our brand momentum and reputation as we deliver superior value to customers and
shareholders alike. We thank everyone for your continued support and belief in our vision as we continue to do
what we do best: Connect with Innovation.
