Asia Pacific and other Emerging Markets (including ODM/OEM sales to Japan) grew 12% and were one of the key contributors for consolidated profits for the year. D-Link International region business units are well positioned in their respective markets where the Company is showing solid, successful growth. While others extol the promise and potential of expansion to the global marketplace, D-Link is already reaping its rewards.

For decades, the Company has worked to build a global network of strong channel partners and has reached out and extended into virtually every market.
