Wavelink, Garland Technology announce distribution agreement to help critical infrastructures optimize operations

March 28, 2024

Wavelink announced a new distribution agreement with Garland Technology, provider of Network Test Access Points (TAPs), data diodes, and packet brokers. The alliance lets Wavelink offer its partners a wide-ranging set of critical network visibility solutions, ensuring they can readily implement robust measures in an environment rife with increasingly sophisticated and pervasive cyber threats.

Effective immediately, Wavelink is distributing Garland Technology products through its extensive network of resellers and system integrators across various industries, including mining, manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Both businesses are committed to providing ongoing support and training for partners, from the initial implementation phase to ongoing operations, ensuring that their network infrastructure remains robust, secure, and efficient.

Garland Technology provides critical solutions for network visibility, which are essential for organizations to ensure that data can be monitored, analyzed, and protected efficiently. Network TAPs let companies access data traffic non-intrusively for full data visibility without compromising network integrity. Packet brokers optimize the traffic flow to monitoring tools, ensuring that security and performance monitoring systems receive the relevant data they need to operate effectively.

Cloud visibility solutions extend these capabilities into cloud environments where traditional data access methods may not suffice. This means enhanced network performance, improved security posture, and better compliance with regulations for businesses as they gain the ability to monitor and respond to issues in real-time.

“The demand for network visibility solutions designed specifically for OT environments has grown substantially over the past 18 months. Garland Technology is excited to partner with the Wavelink Communications team and bring our Network TAP, Aggregator, and Hardware Data Diode solutions to the Australian market,” said Chris Bihary, CEO/co-founder of Garland Technology. Having a dedicated partner like Wavelink is crucial to helping Garland expand our network in Australia and New Zealand and assist in protecting vital critical infrastructure assets.”

Ilan Rubin, chief executive officer of Wavelink, said, “Garland Technology aligns perfectly with Wavelink’s mission to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions. Garland Technology’s products complement Wavelink’s existing portfolio and empower the organization to offer a comprehensive solution set for partners to help customers achieve their network performance and security goals.

“This partnership is a step forward in providing Australian and New Zealand companies with the tools they need to safeguard their digital assets and maintain operational integrity. By enhancing their network visibility and security capabilities, organizations can protect against threats and optimize their network performance, leading to better business outcomes.”
