Cosemi Expands Global Sales Channel Through Distribution Agreement with WESCO International Inc.
February 22 2018 - 10:00AM
Cosemi Technologies Inc., a global leader in innovative, high-speed
connectivity solutions, today announced that it has signed a
distribution agreement with WESCO International Inc. (NYSE:WCC).
Under terms of the agreement, WESCO will distribute Cosemi’s family
of HDMI, DisplayPort 8K and USB active optical cables (AOCs) to its
international distribution network. This partnership is in addition
to Cosemi’s existing OEM relationship with Liberty AV Solutions, a
WESCO subsidiary for value-integrated audiovisual (AV) solutions
and subsystems.
Cosemi’s AOCs are designed to address the
growing demand for applications that feature 4K/8K video
communications (vcom), including gaming, enterprises and high-end
residential markets. To satisfy the need for greater levels of
bandwidth at faster speeds, Cosemi’s AOCs utilize modern fiber
optics to enable unprecedented performance and distance in a way
that is far superior to copper. The AOCs are also ‘plug-and-play’
and easy to care for – providing customers with the highest quality
solution at the lowest price possible.
“To reach customers in a variety of markets
requires relationships with both regional and global channel
partners,” said Cosemi Senior VP of Business Development Samir
Desai. “By tapping into WESCO’s vast distribution network, we are
able to expand our sales channels to have access to customers with
terms that are specific to each geographic region. This gets us one
step closer to helping us realize our vision of ‘enabling optical
connectivity everywhere.’ We look forward to working with WESCO for
many years to come.”
WESCO’s subsidiary, Liberty AV Solutions, will
work to establish relationships with local distributors in regions
where the company does not currently have a presence.
In anticipation of Cosemi’s business growth in
the vcom market, Cosemi has also developed a strong contract
manufacturing relationship with a leading manufacturing service
provider. As the WESCO distribution channel captures demand, Cosemi
will ensure the delivery and fulfillment of this demand is met with
the highest quality, shortest lead-times and superior customer
experience.
