We often overlook how quickly the Internet and computer networking have changed the
way people communicate and do business. D-Link has been a pioneer in this area,
constructively inuencing the way the world perceives networking in the home and oce.
For nearly 25 years, D-Link has taken the initiative to
develop new technologies and make them accessible to
businesses and consumers all over the world. Throughout
this journey, D-Link engineers have been leading
innovators in providing quality networking products to
businesses and consumers.
As always, D-Link’s core competency is in Ethernet
networking. D-Link 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 levels.
Thus, D-Link does more than sell products that compete
with those of other enterprise-class switch manufacturers
– D-Link drives the industry. The xStack product line, for
example, includes world-class, fully-managed switches
available at a fraction of the cost of its competitors and are
backed by D-Link’s renowned dependability. 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 for
industry-leading design and functionality. These features,
combined with a reputation for reliability, both create and
serve a growing demand for networking at home and in
the small oce. Built upon the best-reviewed Wireless N
routers in the industry, D-Link’s oerings for the digital home
include innovative network storage devices, Internet
cameras, media players, and IP telephony systems.
From fully-managed switches for enterprise to
award-winning 802.11n routers for the home and small
oce, D-Link empowers its customers to work,
communicate, and relax, taking full advantage of the
benets of broadband. Since 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. Operated as a global brand with a
local touch, D-Link’s internationally respected products are
promoted and distributed to customers by people they
know and trust. This is the case whether they are in Brazil,
Russia, Japan, or any of the company’s 158 locations around
the world.
Coordinated teamwork across borders produces
cutting-edge products distributed to every corner of the
globe. Local teams communicate their requirements to
D-Link Headquarters, which fullls 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.” This
enduring way of doing business continues to be proven
one customer at a time.
