D-Link 2002 Annual Report Download - page 10

D-Link is among a select few companies that are truly global.
The Company has established a global presence through a strong
network of business units in key markets throughout the world.
Since a D-Link business unit from within a country or region
serves each market, it becomes easier to identify and choose tech-
nologies and feature sets that properly align with the needs of spe-
cific geographic areas.
Each business unit then works with various key product develop-
ment groups to help define the future of the Company. As a
result, D-Link can provide real solutions through in-market
assessments, feature identification and supply. The saturation and
expansion of worldwide markets by serving them from within
allows D-Link to better serve each specific market according to its
own needs.
Building a business network capable of serving the world's mar-
ketplace takes vast amounts of capital, hard work and time.
D-Link began to transform itself into a global enterprise in the
late 1980's. For more than 16 years, we have been developing
business relationships and investing in a system that opens access
to more than 100 countries through 86 offices worldwide.
The tremendous growth in Asia and the Pacific Rim, a steady uni-
fied European market and a driven North American market con-
tinue to open up significant opportunities for connectivity
solutions.
D-Link is already in place and staged to demonstrate market lead-
ership through the delivery of cutting edge products that suit the
specific needs of growing markets.
