About D-Link
Established in 1986, D-Link’s mission is to provide consumers and enterprises across the globe with high quality network solutions. The initial company name was Datex Systems, combining the words "data exchange" to emphasize the original purpose of network technology. With world evolution, network products not only provide data transmission, but gradually became a way to connect people, so Datex was renamed as D-Link. The "D" refers to Datex and "Link" represents the essence of network products, which defines our belief that everything from everywhere can be connected. The Chinese name "友訊" contains the meanings of "good friends play communication together" and "friendly communication." It also echoes our brand mission, "Building Networks for People." D-Link is not just a manufacturer of network solutions, it is also a brand that connects all aspects of human life.
Origin
In the 1980s, most personal computers, such as Atari, Commodore, IBM, etc., were huge and heavy, mainly due to the excessive size of internal components. At that time, the average network interface card was about 11 inches, the same size as a modern notebook computer. However, only D-Link, a small manufacturer in Taiwan, was able to break through the technical barriers to make it lighter, more economical, and 50% reduction in size. This dramatically improved the practicality and efficiency of personal computers and has also promoted revolutionary changes in the global individual computer market.
