Axon And Utah Scientific Announce 'Strategic Alliance'

Axon Digital Design and Utah Scientific have announced a strategic alliance ahead of this year's NAB show in Las Vegas.

The alliance also includes a distribution agreement, effective immediately, in which Utah will become Axon's Master Distributor for the Synapse and Cerebrum product lines in North America.

Axon will also become the exclusive distributor of Utah's routing products in designated regions in the world, including UK, Western and Eastern Europe, China, Africa and Latin America.

"We are very pleased that through this agreement we can extend our product offering to our customers", said Jan Eveleens Axon's CEO. "Utah's router product line is a perfect match to our signal processing and monitoring & control product lines. This new partnership is a good strategic and cultural fit for both companies, enabling us to bring together our expertise to develop next generation solutions and reach new markets."

"We are extremely excited about this unique opportunity for us to bring together two of the industry’s leading infrastructure suppliers," said Tom Harmon, Utah Scientific CEO. "We are looking forward to being able to offer best-of-breed solutions in both switchers and modular products to our customers and we have started working with Axon to integrate our existing products and accelerate our development of products for the emerging segments of our industry such as IP video and UHD-TV."

At this year's NAB, 11-16 April in Las Vegas, both companies will showcase each other's products on their booths (for Axon SU5405, for Utah N4824).
