Expanding on D-Link's core competency
of Ethernet networking, the Company began
developing high-rate wireless Ethernet technology.
Ultimately, the company introduced products in
2000 as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) agreed upon a high rate
standard, which was initially named the IEEE
802.11HR (High Rate).
Today, wireless networking has emerged as a
mainstream set of technologies and is growing in
popularity among resellers and consumers. This is
due in large part to its scalability and seamless
interoperability with Ethernet - the most widely
used networking technology.
D-Link was the first to recognize the huge potential
for wireless networking in the digital home
and the small to medium business
markets. That is why the Company was first to deliv-
er a SOHO IEEE 802.11b 11Mb wireless network
to the consumer market. Since then D-LinkAir has
taken the market by storm, driving this technology
to an affordable level.
Digital HHome
D-LinkAir wireless offers a wide range of connectiv-
ity solutions for the home with multiple interface
technologies such as PCI, USB, PC Card and
Ethernet. Strict compliance to the IEEE 802.11b
networking standard within the 2.4GHz frequency
range for wireless connectivity, means that the
D-Link wireless products are very compatible and
interoperable in a multi-vendor environment
that is standard compliant.
