In the year 2003, PowerDsine expanded its traditional sales strategy of partnering with key OEM companies, to a direct channel of sales via international and national distribution channels in the USA and Europe.

PowerDsine and its distribution partners combine expertise and resources in the areas of marketing and sales, to promote Power over Ethernet Midspan family solutions to resellers and end-users in the cabling infrastructure, wireless and security markets.

We are looking to develop a strong channel presence; therefore special programs are constantly offered to create awareness of the benefits of Power over Ethernet amongst reseller, systems integrators and VARs. The PoE products offer an excellent fit with its distributors' networking portfolio. It also offers substantial opportunities for additional revenue to the distributors reseller base in the wireless, IP Telephony and security arenas.

Currently, we have signed agreements with major distributors in the US: Anixter, D&H, Westcon/Comstor, and WAV, and in Europe with Westcon/Comstor, Ingram Micro and Dacon.
