D-Link Annual Report 2008 018

Product Design &
Distribution
D-Link has largely contributed to what the world perceives networking to be,
both in business and in the home. It is sometimes easy to overlook how quickly
the Internet and computer networking have changed the way we do business
and how we communicate.
For over 21 years, D-Link has taken the initiative in providing
this technology, and making it accessible to businesses of
any size, as well as consumers all over the world.
Throughout this journey, D-Link engineers have been the
innovators. D-Link’s core competency continues to remain
in Ethernet networking. The Company drives innovation
and development by producing a wide range of powerful
devices for every type of consumer. D-Link products are
available as wired and wireless solutions for home and
businesses at the enterprise, workgroup, and departmental
processing levels.
Thus, D-Link does more than sell competing products
to those of other enterprise-class switch manufacturers
— the Company continues to pioneer the industry. D-
Link’s xStack line, for example, includes world-class, fully-
managed switches available at a fraction of the cost of
its competitors, backed by D-Link’s renowned reliability.
D-Link engineers apply the same innovative drive to
business-class WLAN, storage and security products for
medium and large enterprises.
D-Link consumer products are known all over the
world. Industry leading design and functionality – again
supported by D-Link reliability – both create and serve a
growing demand for networking at home and in the small
oce. With a foundation built upon the best-reviewed
Wireless N routers in the industry, the digital home
includes innovative network storage, Internet cameras,
media players and IP telephony.
From fully-managed switches for enterprises to award-
winning 802.11n routers for the home and SOHO, D-Link fuels
and lls a global demand to work, communicate and recreate,
by taking full advantage of the benets of broadband. And
because D-Link owns most of its supply chain, its products
are feature-rich and competitively priced.
Producing goods for a global marketplace, D-Link
expands each year to establish an ever-increasing
number of localized business units. Being operated as a
global brand, customers view D-Link products as being
promoted and distributed by people they know, whether
they are in Brazil, Russia, Japan, or any of the 174 oces
around the world.
This means that there is coordinated teamwork to produce
cutting-edge products distributed to every corner of
the world. Local teams communicate their local needs
that D-Link headquarters lls from its own state-of-
the-art manufacturing facilities within timeframes that
competitors cannot match.
D-Link’s motto is “Building Networks for People.” It is a way
of doing business that continues to be proven one customer
at a time.
