CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axis Communications, the industry leader in network video, recently welcomed Dutch partner, Sorama, the market leader in sound monitors, to the United States during a trade mission to San Francisco, California.

The signing ceremony took place on September 6 at San Francisco’s City Hall North Light Court and formalized Sorama’s US partnership agreement with Axis.
