The company has undergone a huge change in branding since its launch. Originally known as Datex, the company changed its name to the D-Link Corporation in 1994.

D-Link has a well-formed distribution channel through which it supplies products across the globe. Today, the company is focusing on new and emerging markets through its own supply chain.

The company has developed, marketed and catered to the communication market for over 20 years. It is also an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) that develops products for some of the top networking companies under the brand name D-Link. The company’s foray into OEM business happened after the D-Link brand became successful in its own right. Thereafter, its OEM base grew quickly.

The latest product launched by D-Link is the DRO-100 router and a networking security appliance. Some of the popular D-Link products include the D-Link DGS-1008D 8-Port Green Gigabit Ethernet Switch, the D-Link Xtreme N DIR-655 Wireless Router, the D-Link DWL-922 Wireless Kit and the D-Link DWA-556 Pre-802.11n Wireless Adapter.
