As the PC networking industry matures and the demand for resource sharing increases, LAN & WAN technologies are converging. Backed by dedicated employees, a global distribution network covering six continents, and a full line of products to complete end-to-end solutions, D-Link stands on the threshold of opportunity. In the past, LAN & WAN technologies have worked together to transfer information across the world; however, they have remained separate disciplines and required different skill-sets to properly support.

The advent of the Internet has changed these rules. Today, there is heavy competition within the growing Internet Broadband Market and differentiation is no longer stemming from just network efficiencies. Broadband Networks have begun to embrace LAN connectivity as a consultative value-add to their customers. Since LANs have become easy to set up and administer, the technology is attracting innovative organizations looking to provide more than just the Internet. D-Link’s Network Alliance Program is an effort to bridge the gap between LAN & WAN paradigms, and make it easy for Broadband Networks to resell and support LAN connectivity.

Those companies that embrace the integration of LAN & WAN technologies, and find a way to seamlessly provide them to the masses will dictate the future of networking. We believe our joined forces will speed the Digital Home revolution and allow us to capture a lion-share of the networking equipment market, while helping Networks like yours expand their service offerings. Few true network equipment manufactures can boast the size and influence that D-Link has, and even fewer can offer our breadth of products. We look forward to exploring the synergy between our two organizations, and identifying how we can work together to speed the adoption of connectivity.
