Renowned organization recognizes D-Link wireless router for design excellence

Dubai, THE UAE, October 05, 2011 - D-Link today announced that its DIR-645 Whole Home Router has been awarded the 2011 Good Design Award (G-Mark Award) by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.

The DIR-645 Whole Home Router, introduced in June of this year, is an innovative access point that provides a reliable high-performance wireless connection throughout a home or office. The router's patented SmartBeam technology eliminates dead spots and improves overall connectivity in areas where conventional access points cannot reach. Its built-in smart antenna extends coverage range, minimizes interference, and boosts wireless speeds. The DIR-645 even helps to save energy by adjusting the amount of power used for wireless connections and eliminating the need for additional access points.

"We are thrilled to have been recognized for design excellence this year," said Harrison Albert, Regional Director at D-Link Middle East & Africa. "D-Link makes it our priority to blend style and function wherever we can. The DIR-645 Whole Home Router is a great example of a device that not only looks great, but also offers impressive performance that extends above and beyond that of a typical wireless router", Harrison added.

The Good Design Award, organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP), is awarded annually to products that are seen to elevate the quality and standards of consumer life based on their design concept, quality, and innovation. The Good Design Award encourages eminent creative designers to build prosperous lives and foster sound industrial development.
