"With our advanced D-Link Digital Home solutions, consumers can be connected all the time everywhere within the digital home," said Steven Joe, President and CEO of D-Link. "Integrated wireless network capability combined with new application development enables home users to have remote access from any station point throughout the digital home to a wide array of media devices, entertainment content and applications."

The industry has made significant progress in the development of standards for interoperability and D-Link continues to embrace these standards as a measurement baseline criterion in the development of new and innovative connectivity devices for consumers in the digital home. D-Link strictly adheres to the IEEE and ITU standards and is a key contributor to the Digital Home Working Group (DHWG).

Innovative Products for the Digital Home
To provide consumers with an engaging digital home experience, D-Link has developed a full range of product solutions for sharing resources and sharing multimedia content that allows consumers to interactively reach out to friends and family.

Digital Home Multimedia.
At CES, D-Link displayed a powerful networked wireless media center that includes a DVD player, a multi-format card reader and advanced content services such as AOL's Radio@AOL Web-based music service. The critical component here is the D-Link digital home access, internet devices and standard-based connectivity for consumer electronics. The D-Link digital home concept is completely distributed throughout the home, so no single device or PC controls everything. By allowing a powerful, flexible, feature-rich D-Link Integrated Access Device to act as the primary access point to the Internet, each component can exist in a peer to peer environment yet have centralized control for security to the outside world.

D-Link offers building blocks of components that are standard based and use existing home Consumer Electronic devices such as speakers and TVs to extend the digital entertainment system, as well as offering additional PC-based components like the D-Link Central Home Drive or D-Link Home Media Server for creating, managing, storing, and distributing content such as digital photos, digital audio and personal video. D-Link also displayed 5GHz wireless speaker adapters for streaming crystal-clear audio from a home entertainment system to distant speakers.
