Araknis Networks

What Araknis Networks does

Araknis Networks is a private professional networking hardware brand founded in 2013 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, operating as a wholly-owned brand of ADI Global Distribution (corporate parent HQ in Melville, New York). The company designs and sells professional-grade networking equipment — Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6 access points, multi-gigabit Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches across six series (110 through 920), and multi-gigabit VPN routers — purpose-built for finished residential installations and small-to-medium business environments.

All Araknis hardware is managed through OvrC, a proprietary cloud-based remote management platform included at no additional cost with every router, switch, and access point. OvrC extends visibility to non-Araknis devices via SNMP and ONVIF protocols and is delivered in three tiers: the core OvrC dashboard, OvrC Pro (integrator-facing deep diagnostics, remote UI access, and topology awareness bundled with routers), and OvrC Connect (end-customer mobile app for self-service troubleshooting). Smart deployment tools — Wi-Fi Optimization, Proximity View, and Bridge Mode — automate RF analysis and access point placement validation.

Araknis operates an exclusively channel-based B2B go-to-market, selling exclusively through ADI Global Distribution and Snap One to a network of Control4-certified professional custom integrators. A Pro Locator Tool on the Araknis website connects end customers with certified installers. Revenue is generated through hardware sales; no pricing or financial figures are publicly disclosed. The company has no independent venture funding, no public listing, and no separately disclosed management team.

Core offering

Araknis Networks designs, manufactures (via contract production), and sells professional-grade networking hardware — Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6 access points, multi-gigabit Layer 2/3 PoE switches, and dual-WAN VPN routers — paired with the OvrC cloud-based remote management platform. Products are engineered specifically for finished residential and small-to-medium business environments, and are sold exclusively through certified custom integrators via the ADI Global Distribution and Snap One wholesale channels rather than direct to end customers.

Product overview

Araknis Networks is a professional networking platform built exclusively for custom integrators, consisting of three core hardware product lines plus a unified cloud management platform. The portfolio includes: Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6 Access Points (X30/X20 series and 530/830 models) delivering multi-gig wireless performance; PoE and Multi-Gig Switches across six series (920, 620, 420, 320, 220, 110) ranging from unmanaged gigabit to full Layer 3 10G backbone; and VPN Routers (520 and 220 series) with multi-gigabit throughput and dual WAN options. All hardware is managed through OvrC, a cloud-based remote management platform included at no extra cost, with OvrC Pro extending visibility to non-Araknis devices, and OvrC Connect providing customer-facing mobile control.

Direct peers

• Ubiquiti Networks: Ubiquiti offers UniFi access points, switches, and gateways with a cloud management platform, directly competing with Araknis in the professional/prosumer Wi-Fi and switching market. Both sell to integrators and MSPs and emphasize easy-to-deploy cloud-managed networking.
• Luxul: Luxul is a direct competitor in the custom integration channel, offering managed Wi-Fi, switches, and routers purpose-built for residential and light commercial AV integrators. Highly comparable positioning, channel, and product mix to Araknis.
• Pakedge (Snap One): Pakedge is Snap One's own networking brand and a sister product line to Araknis under the same parent. It directly competes for the same Control4 integrator channel with switches, routers, and wireless products.
• Ruckus Networks (CommScope): Ruckus provides enterprise-grade Wi-Fi and switches with cloud management (Ruckus Cloud), targeting SMB and mid-market customers. It overlaps with Araknis in managed Wi-Fi for commercial and high-density environments.

Broad incumbents

• Aruba Networks (HPE): Aruba Instant On targets SMB and small-business Wi-Fi with cloud management, directly competing for the same SMB and residential-light-commercial integrator deployments as Araknis, but as part of HPE's broader enterprise networking portfolio.
• Cisco Meraki: Meraki provides cloud-managed access points, switches, and security appliances with a strong recurring SaaS model. It competes with Araknis in managed networking for SMB and multi-site customers, though its price point targets larger deployments.
• Netgear: Netgear's Pro Wi-Fi (WAX/Orbi Pro) and Insight cloud management platform serve the same prosumer, SMB, and light commercial integrator market as Araknis. It offers similar multi-gig and Wi-Fi 7 products at scale.
• TP-Link Omada: Omada is TP-Link's SDN-managed access point, switch, and router platform targeting SMB and integrator channels. It competes with Araknis on price-performance in the same deployment profile.
• Linksys: Linksys offers Velop mesh and business-grade networking gear aimed at residential and small-business users. It targets adjacent segments of the same end-customer base Araknis serves through integrators.

Emerging players

• eero (Amazon): eero delivers mesh Wi-Fi and increasingly pro-oriented networking (eero for Business) with cloud management. It is an emerging threat to Araknis as it pushes upmarket from consumer into SMB and small integrator deployments.
