“D-Link has shown the strength and fl exibility
to provide products to meet the ever-changing
needs of both business and consumers.”
- Aaron Vance, Senior Analyst
Synergy Research Group
Asia Pacifi c &
Other Areas
The telecom equipment market in the Asia Pacifi c
region is growing at high-speed. Collectively,
equipment vendors realized US$43 billion from sales
of telecom equipment in 2005 and expect continuing
market growth to US$47 billion by 2007.

D-Link saw revenues from APAC and Other Areas grow by 33% to US$439 million,
or 38.78% of total revenues for the year, representing D-Link’s fastest growing market
in 2005.
Markets in Asia Pacifi c, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and surrounding
regions continued to lead the company in growth. Vast potential remains untapped
in Korea and Japan, where we have only recently secured a presence. With expanding
sales channels and growing presence across this fragmented market, D-Link’s
advances in these regions has been a direct result of the close working relationships we
maintain with our local partners. These solid relationships with key distributors and
sales networks have allowed us to tap into leading companies and key government
agencies that provide communications services in these developing areas.
Economic development in these countries is also bringing a widespread adoption of
Broadband, making it more of a standard than a luxury. This translated into strong
demand for our telecommunications products in this region in 2005.
As these trends in both the private industry and government sectors continue in these
emerging nations, D-Link is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in these
expanding markets. We are proud of the successes achieved in these regions thus far
and excited about the high potential that lies ahead. We are equally aware that we
can only realize this potential by continued introduction of innovative, new products
to the market coupled with close cooperation with, and strong support for, our local
partners.
