D-Link 2009 Annual Report Download - page 19

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 22 years, D-Link has taken the initiative in providing
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 business at the
enterprise, workgroup, and departmental processing levels.
Thus, the Company does more than sell products that
compete with those of other enterprise-class switch
manufacturers – D-Link 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 office. 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 fills a
global demand to work, communicate, and recreate, by taking
full advantage of the benefits of broadband. Furthermore,
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 158 company locations 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 to D-Link
Headquarters, which fulfills these needs 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.
