About Advanced Network Devices

Advanced Network Devices (ANetD) designs and manufactures IP-based endpoint devices for mass notification systems. The company is an engineering-centric firm specializing in audio and video technology for networking, notification, and security. Its history traces back to the early 2000s as an early adopter of Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which led to the development of the first PoE IP loudspeaker.

ANetD's product portfolio includes a comprehensive range of PoE endpoints designed to deliver audio and visual communications. This includes IP speakers, HD displays, synchronized clocks, strobes, and smart panic buttons. These devices are engineered to integrate with third-party software and existing systems like phones and security platforms to facilitate mass notifications, paging, intercoms, and emergency alerts. The products are designed to reach large audiences quickly, especially during critical events, by delivering automated instructions and alerts. For example, their SIP-enabled Smart IP Button can initiate a facility lockdown, automatically contact first responders, and broadcast messages through connected displays and speakers.

The company serves a diverse client base across sectors such as education, healthcare, government, and corporate industries in the U.S. and internationally. It sells its products through a network of distributors and resellers, including Starin, Wesco, VoIP Supply, and CDW. Advanced Network Devices is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Design Corporation (DDC) and is headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois, where it also handles manufacturing and testing.
