This transaction increases our combined global presence and elevates us to a position among the top 10 in the global security and surveillance market in terms of revenue."

March Networks' president and chief executive officer Peter Strom added, "We have always been a technology leader with forward-thinking ideas and cutting-edge design. Now we will have Infinova's additional research and design resources as well as manufacturing expertise. These advantages will help us remain among the leaders in the industry by enabling us to bring more innovative products to the market at an accelerated pace."
