D-Link has announced the commemoration of its 25th Anniversary with a renewed pledge of leadership and innovation within the networking and consumer electronics industry. Founded in 1986 to design and market network adapters, D-Link has grown into an international networking giant with a worldwide reputation for robust and affordable products.
The networking scene has changed drastically since D-Link's inception 25 years ago. Initially with only the domain of government and academia, networking technology today has become ubiquitous, enriching social lives and empowering business operations. A growing emphasis on mobile and cloud computing has reinforced the need for reliable networking solutions everywhere. D-Link appears poised to meet the demands of the current landscape with new offerings that facilitate private clouds in the home, and enterprise solutions that arm administrators with versatile management, security, and quality of service features.
Conscious of the evolving global networking environment, D-Link is striving to achieve IPv6 readiness for all-new products. Ahead of most vendors, several D-Link wireless routers first received IPv6 Phase 1 certification from the IPv6 Forum in 2006. Since then, D-Link has attained IPv6 compliance for all Managed Switch products, including its full line of Smart Switches. D-Link L3 switches currently support IPv6 routing in addition to IPv6 management
