D-Link’s Eastern European team recognized that a potential lack of leased-line availability through the region could indeed cause an issue for its partners when bidding to deploy multi-site enterprise and SME networks. D-Link Europe had decided to enter into the enterprise and business solutions arena to challenge the dominance of existing incumbent players such as Cisco in the midmarket and service provider networking segment.
Their offer of leading edge, high performance technologies in the enterprise LAN, WAN, Wireless and Security segments pose a strong competitive threat to the incumbent players, whilst in addition being positioned as highly price-attractive solutions to their target market segments.
In Hungary alone, D-Link’s partner base has already deployed InfiNet wireless solution into at least 4 service provider/Wireless-ISP networks offering end-user Wi-Fi and high-capacity Cable/ETTH (Ethernet to the Home) connectivity, as well as providing campus services to a number of medium and large enterprise networks.
D-Link is now partnering with InfiNet Wireless to offer InfiNet’s point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless solutions across its entire Eastern European region, and the joint proposition of the two companies extends beyond just their respective product portfolios to offer partners and customers support, training and integration services.
