Distribution you can build a business on.

TP-Link is the largest provider of WiFi devices worldwide and Y5's anchor partner. Founded in 1996, the company spans consumer mesh systems (Deco), enterprise WiFi and switching (Omada), enterprise surveillance (VIGI), and SMB routers and access points (JetStream). For Y5 customers, TP-Link is the default starting point on most networking and surveillance projects because of stock depth, pricing, and India-wide support presence. Y5 has been an Authorised Distributor since 2019 and routinely receives pre-release firmware access and engineering escalation channels on behalf of clients.

Omada is TP-Link's software-defined networking platform — APs, switches, gateways, and routers managed from a single Omada Cloud dashboard or an on-prem OC controller. The line targets SMB and mid-market deployments that need centralised management but balk at Cisco / Aruba pricing. For Y5, Omada is the daily-driver line on most hospitality, education, and retail projects: deployment is fast, the captive portal is mature, and zero-touch provisioning means installers can drop and walk away.

Deco is TP-Link's consumer-to-prosumer mesh WiFi platform. Three-pack and two-pack systems blanket a multi-room home, villa, or small office with a single SSID and seamless roaming, managed from a phone app. The line spans Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 generations, and Y5 stocks Deco where the use-case is too small for Omada (sub-3,000 sq ft) but a single router won't cover the floorplan. Particularly common in luxury residential, doctor's clinics, and boutique studios.

VIGI is TP-Link's enterprise surveillance brand, distinct from the consumer Tapo line. Cameras include indoor turret, outdoor bullet, PTZ, and fisheye models, paired with VIGI NVRs and dedicated PoE+ switches. The line emphasises ONVIF compatibility, AI-assisted person and vehicle detection, and integration with the VIGI Security Manager dashboard. Y5 deploys VIGI for retail chains, multi-site offices, and BFSI branches that need genuine business-grade CCTV without jumping to Hikvision / Dahua price points.

Cisco is the default enterprise networking vendor in India for large campuses, regulated industries, and any environment that needs vendor-backed support contracts. Y5 carries the Catalyst switching line, Meraki cloud-managed APs and switches, and select security appliances. Cisco shows up on Y5's bill of materials when a customer specifically requires it — typically BFSI, government tenders, large healthcare networks, or any deployment where 24/7 TAC support is non-negotiable.

HPE Aruba Networking delivers enterprise-grade WiFi, switching, and SD-WAN backed by Aruba Central, one of the most mature cloud-management consoles on the market. The Instant On line targets SMB at TP-Link-like price points; the CX switching and 600-series APs target large campuses. Y5 deploys Aruba where customers need centralised cloud management at scale, ClearPass-grade policy control, or vendor-backed performance guarantees that the SMB-tier brands don't offer.

Ubiquiti's UniFi ecosystem has become a favourite for prosumer and SMB deployments that want enterprise-grade hardware without per-device licensing. UniFi APs cover Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7; UniFi Switches handle PoE+ camera fleets; UniFi Protect adds a self-hosted CCTV layer; the Dream Machine integrates a gateway, controller, and security stack in one rack appliance. Y5 deploys UniFi when customers want polished hardware and a no-subscription model — design studios, boutique hotels, modern offices, and tech-led SMBs.

D-Link has been a fixture of the Indian networking market for over two decades. Y5's founder Kunal Raul previously led D-Link India's Pan-India marketing, which translates to deep familiarity with the product lines, RMA workflows, and pricing tiers. Y5 carries D-Link business switches, wireless gear, and IP surveillance — particularly common in cost-sensitive SMB rollouts and where the customer has historical preference for the brand.

CommScope is the global structured-cabling and infrastructure leader. Y5 uses CommScope Cat6A patch cords, fibre trunks, patch panels, racks, and cable-management hardware on every project where the physical layer matters — which is most of them. The brand is the de-facto choice when an RFP calls for 'tier-1 structured cabling' or when a customer's IT team wants a vendor with a 25-year channel and warranty story.

MikroTik is the engineer's networking brand — RouterOS exposes everything from BGP routing to deep firewalling on hardware that costs a fraction of comparable Cisco gear. Y5 stocks MikroTik for ISP-style deployments, complex routing requirements, point-to-point wireless backhaul, and any project where the customer has a knowledgeable network engineer who wants the flexibility of RouterOS.

Netgear's business line — ProSafe switches, Insight cloud-managed APs, ReadyNAS storage — targets SMB and mid-market deployments. Y5 stocks Netgear where customers want a more polished UX than the budget brands but don't need full enterprise-tier from Cisco or Aruba. Insight, Netgear's cloud-management platform, gives small IT teams a clean dashboard across multiple sites.

Tenda is one of the largest networking brands by unit shipment in Asia, with a portfolio centred on affordable mesh systems, home and SMB routers, and indoor access points. Y5 stocks Tenda for price-sensitive deployments — small offices, retail counters, residential projects — where the customer needs reliable WiFi without enterprise-tier pricing.

Mercusys is TP-Link's separate value brand, focused on affordable routers, mesh nodes, and switches for residential and entry-SMB segments. The line shares some engineering with TP-Link but ships under a separate name to keep the parent brand's positioning intact at higher tiers. Y5 carries Mercusys when projects need rock-bottom pricing — student housing, budget retail, low-rent residential. Sparse public flagship-product info beyond category-level descriptions.

Grandstream is the go-to brand for VoIP infrastructure — IP phones, IP-PBXs, video conferencing endpoints, and IP cameras — paired with a credible SMB networking line (GWN access points and switches). Y5 deploys Grandstream when a customer is putting in a unified IP phone system or refreshing the office video-conferencing setup. The GWN line gets specified alongside the phone system for a single-vendor SMB stack.

Mimosa (now part of Airspan) builds point-to-point and point-to-multipoint outdoor wireless gear — backhaul radios, fixed-wireless access for ISPs, and unlicensed-band gigabit links. Y5 deploys Mimosa when a customer needs to connect buildings without fibre trenching, link a warehouse cluster, or extend connectivity to outdoor cameras and access points across a large site (campus, factory, logistics yard).

Syrotech is an India-headquartered manufacturer specialising in fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) gear — GPON OLTs and ONUs, optical transceivers, media converters, and accessory hardware. The brand has become common in Indian ISP deployments and large enterprise campus FTTH rollouts. Y5 stocks Syrotech when the project requires GPON-based building-wide fibre distribution, or when an ISP customer needs a domestic supply chain.

Netstar supplies networking accessories and infrastructure components into the Indian SMB and enterprise channel — patch cords, faceplates, keystone jacks, racks, and select active networking gear. The brand is a workhorse OEM rather than a premium consumer-facing name, and Y5 stocks Netstar where projects need cost-effective passive infrastructure alongside the tier-1 active gear. Sparse public flagship-product info beyond category-level descriptions.

CP Plus is the largest CCTV brand by unit shipment in India — owned by Aditya Infotech, headquartered in Delhi. The catalogue spans cameras (analog HD, IP, dome, bullet, PTZ), DVRs, NVRs, and bundled kits sold heavily through retail-and-installer channels. Y5 deploys CP Plus where the project is price-sensitive but still needs a real CCTV warranty, RMA, and pan-India service-network coverage — small offices, retail chains, residential complexes, schools.

Prama (Prama Hikvision India) is the long-time distribution arm tied to Hikvision in India, supplying surveillance hardware to the channel under both Hikvision and Prama-branded SKUs. The line covers IP cameras (turret, bullet, PTZ, fisheye), NVRs / DVRs, and access-control modules. Y5 carries Prama for cost-sensitive enterprise CCTV projects — where the customer wants a more substantial brand than CP Plus but doesn't need full Honeywell / Axis pricing. Note: Prama's primary B2B presence operates through channel partners; their public website varies in availability.

Ravtron designs and supplies security and surveillance hardware into the Indian channel — primarily CCTV cameras, DVRs/NVRs, biometric access control, and intrusion alarms. The brand is a workhorse for small-business and residential security installations where price and warranty support matter more than premium analytics. Y5 stocks Ravtron alongside CP Plus and Prama for the cost-sensitive CCTV tier. Sparse public flagship-SKU info beyond category-level descriptions.

Samsung's semiconductor arm produces the dominant share of enterprise NVMe SSDs, DRAM, and memory cards in the global market. Y5 stocks Samsung SSDs and memory cards for client and server applications — particularly the 870 EVO / 980 PRO / 990 PRO consumer SSDs, the PM-series enterprise SSDs, and the PRO-series microSD cards for surveillance recording. Reliability and warranty consistency make Samsung the default storage line-item on most BoQs.

Western Digital is one of the two dominant HDD manufacturers globally, with a broader portfolio that now includes the SanDisk SSD line, the WD Red NAS-optimised drives, and the WD Purple surveillance-class HDDs. Y5 specifies WD drives on every project that includes NVRs, NAS systems, or local backup storage — the colour-coded WD line makes it easy to specify the right durability class for the workload.

Seagate is the other half of the global HDD duopoly alongside Western Digital, with a parallel portfolio of workload-class drives. SkyHawk (surveillance), IronWolf (NAS), Exos (enterprise) — the brand cleanly mirrors the WD Purple/Red/Gold lineup with broadly comparable specs and warranty terms. Y5 specifies Seagate or WD interchangeably on most projects, often based on pricing on the day or customer preference.

Toshiba's storage business (now operated as Kioxia for flash, with Toshiba branding retained for HDDs) supplies surveillance-class HDDs, enterprise HDDs, and external drives into the Indian market. Y5 stocks Toshiba as a third option alongside WD and Seagate for storage projects — particularly attractive when the customer's procurement team wants three quotes from independent OEMs for tender comparison.

SanDisk is the consumer-facing flash brand within Western Digital, covering microSD cards, SD cards, USB flash drives, and portable SSDs. Y5 stocks SanDisk extensively because every IP camera, body camera, drone, and machine vision deployment needs memory cards, and SanDisk's high-endurance lines (HE series, MAX Endurance) are the industry default for surveillance recording on edge devices.

Lexar is a long-running flash-storage brand (now under Longsys) specialising in memory cards, USB drives, and recently-expanded SSD lines. The brand competes with SanDisk on price-per-GB across nearly the same SKU lineup. Y5 stocks Lexar when the customer's BoQ has dozens of cards or sticks to fulfill — bulk camera deployments, USB backup distribution, hot-swap card spares — and the price-per-unit savings versus SanDisk add up.

Netac is a Shenzhen-headquartered flash-storage OEM with a portfolio spanning consumer SSDs (2.5" SATA and M.2 NVMe), USB drives, and memory cards. The brand competes aggressively on price-per-GB and shows up frequently on BoQs where the customer wants the lowest-cost storage that's still backed by a multi-year warranty. Y5 stocks Netac as the value-tier complement to Samsung and WD for projects where storage is a line-item rather than a strategic decision.

Synology's DiskStation NAS systems dominate the SMB-to-mid-market storage segment, powered by DSM (DiskStation Manager) — arguably the most polished NAS operating system available. Beyond raw storage, DSM bundles file sharing, backup, surveillance station (NVR functionality), virtualisation, and active directory. Y5 deploys Synology as the centralised storage / backup hub on nearly every multi-user office project, and the Surveillance Station is sometimes specified instead of a dedicated NVR for SMB CCTV.

Logitech is the dominant peripherals brand globally — keyboards, mice, webcams, headsets — and increasingly a major player in video conferencing room hardware (Rally, MeetUp, Tap series). For Y5, Logitech shows up on most office and boardroom projects: the MX Master mice and ergonomic keyboards for executives, the conferencing bars and cameras for huddle rooms and boardrooms, and the headsets for call-centre or remote-team deployments.

Bluerack is an Indian manufacturer of network and server racks covering the full physical-infrastructure stack: indoor wall-mount racks, floor-standing server and data-centre racks, two- and four-post open frames, and weatherproof outdoor enclosures. Cabinets are fabricated from CRCA steel with powder-coat finishing, toughened-glass or perforated doors, and modular accessory rails, so a single vendor can dress every rack on a project to one spec. Being a domestic manufacturer, Bluerack turns custom sizes and one-off cut-outs around in days rather than the weeks an imported cabinet would take. The catalogue is GeM-registered, which matters for the government and PSU tenders Y5 services across western India.

Dr.com is a structured-cabling brand built around a complete CAT6 copper range, with CAT5e and CAT6A available alongside. Cable ships in UTP (unshielded), FTP (foiled), and SFTP (shielded-foiled) constructions, in 23 and 24 AWG solid bare copper, and across five jacket types — PVC, LSZH, PE outdoor, double-coated, and armoured — so one brand covers an office patch run, an outdoor pole-to-pole link, and an industrial floor. The copper is rated for Gigabit Ethernet at 250 MHz with low crosstalk, is PoE-compatible, and is Fluke-tested for performance and compliance. For Y5, Dr.com is the cable on the reel behind every Wi-Fi, surveillance, and access-control install.
