“Thirty exciting years”. So Stefano Nordio, Vice President D-Link Europe, has defined the first thirty years of D-Link, a multinational company specialized in creating network infrastructure and components for the smart home.
Growing years in the name of innovation and ideas, since in 1986 Ken Kao founded D-Link – then known as Datex Systems – stirring up the waters of the IT market by producing solutions for high quality networking at an affordable price such as network adapters and more compact than competitor products or smart chips for fully designed by the computer. These solutions, with innovative features and affordable, have contributed to the global spread of the PC in the eighties and the creation of a real technological revolution.
The great challenge today is to provide solutions for the smart home. Sector in which Italy – which have also demonstrated, just in a research carried out by D-Link, a limited knowledge and rather confused – is an important numbers and potential growth market.

And it is precisely in the name of the smart home that was born the most recent partnership of D-Link, the one with Silicon Labs.
It is a collaboration that combines the expertise of D-Link in the design and manufacture of consumer network devices, its knowledge of the market and its established ecosystem of products for the smart-home “mydlink home” with the know-how Silicon Labs in the development of semiconductors and innovative modules, leveraging key technologies for the wireless network of the connected home and the Internet of Things, such as ZigBee, Thread, Bluetooth low-consumption, Wi-Fi network.
The goal is to solve the “last meter connection”, ie get simple home connections and usable for the IoT. It is from this collaboration that may arise interesting innovations for the home appliance industry.
