D-Link Unveils Next Generation of Digital Home Solutions at CES 2005

D-Link, the global leader in consumer connectivity, unveils next generation digital home solutions designed to give consumers strong and secure network connections anywhere throughout the home for seamless sharing and streaming of multimedia, data sharing and gaming applications at CES in Las Vegas this week. The D-Link 50' x 50' booth
demonstrations include exciting new additions to the "2005 CES Innovations
Honoree" MediaLounge(TM) Wireless Media Player product line empowering users
to enjoy music, photos, video and Internet entertainment to any television in
the home, the new D-Link GamerLounge(TM) gaming routers optimizing Internet
traffic for a "lag-free" gaming experience, powerful Internet surveillance
solutions and innovative new VoIP products. These cutting-edge products,
along with D-Link's award-winning home networking products, are displayed at
booth #35832 in the Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall from January 6th
through the 9th.

"The CES show is an excellent vehicle to showcase and demonstrate our
latest connectivity technologies for consumers in the digital home," said
Steven Joe, president and CEO of D-Link. "With our breakthrough D-Link
digital home solutions, consumers experience powerful, yet transparent network
connections between PCs, TVs and portable devices allowing them to access a
wide array of content options from anywhere inside the home."


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 maximizing an Internet
connection, sharing resources and sharing multimedia content allowing
consumers to interactively reach out to friends and family in ways never
before possible.

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 when developing 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 Living Network
Alliance (DLNA). D-Link embraces the Microsoft PlaysForSure logo
certification for the MediaLounge product family, ensuring that purchased
PlaysForSure digital music, movies and other premium content will play
seamlessly while protecting the copyrights of the provider. In order to ease
the installation of new networking products, upcoming D-Link solutions are
Windows Connect Now compliant, using a USB key to transfer networking setting
for quick and easy configuration of new convergence devices.


MediaLounge Wireless Media Solutions

Building on the highly successful MediaLounge Wireless Media Player
(DSM-320), D-Link will display the next generation of powerful wirelessly
networked media players, including the new MediaLounge Wireless Media Player
with DVD (DSM-320RD) and 5-in-1 Flash Card Reader, the MediaLounge High
Definition (HD) Wireless Media Player (DSM-520) and the new MediaLounge
Wireless Media Server (DSM-5208R), with high-definition support and 80
Gigabytes of on-board storage for music, video and picture files. Following
suit with the original D-Link MediaLounge Wireless Media Player, the new
D-Link MediaLounge Wireless Media Player with DVD will carry the Microsoft
PlaysForSure logo certification, guaranteeing that purchased PlaysForSure
digital music, movies and other premium content will play seamlessly without
additional configuration or firmware updates. With its integrated USB 2.0,
the new D-Link MediaLounge Wireless Media Player with DVD is Windows Connect
Now compliant, allowing quick and easy network configuration. Additionally,
D-Link will be demonstrating advanced content services for the MediaLounge
family of products such as AOL's You've Got Pictures(TM) Web-based Picture
service, the Radio@AOL music service, RealNetworks' Rhapsody streaming music
services, Roxio's Napster music download compatibility and integrated support
of Live365's streaming digital radio 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 extends wireless media solutions with the introduction of the
MediaLounge Portable Wireless Media Player (DSM-220), allowing consumers to
store and take with them up to 20 Gigabytes of music, video or pictures, or
stream entertainment content from the Internet or any PC connected to the
network.

founded by the D-Link Central Home Drive (DSM-604H), D-Link will be showing
the new MediaLounge Wireless Central Home Drive (DSM-624H) and the all new
MediaLounge Wireless Network Storage Enclosure (DSM-G600), two new ways for
creating, managing, storing, and distributing content such as digital photos,
digital audio and personal video.


GamerLounge Gaming Solutions

Built exclusively for video gaming applications, the new D-Link
GamerLounge Wireless Router (DGL-4300) features D-Link GameFuel technologies,
a new intelligent packet processing engine integrated directly on the router,

applications, email and FTP transfers. A demonstration of improved online
game performance using the D-Link GameFuel technologies will be on hand, using
Vivendi Universal Games' (VU Games) critically-acclaimed team-based online
first person action game, Tribes(R): Vengeance. The D-Link GamerLounge
wireless router is also the first router to brandish four 1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet ports with up to 108Mbps 802.11g wireless connectivity for blazing
fast LAN party and WLAN connections. Optimized for PC, Xbox(TM) and
PlayStation(R)2 games, the D-Link GamerLounge wireless router provides gamers
with increased control to maximize online performance for the ultimate
"no lag" gaming experience.

The GamerLounge family is further enhanced with the creation of the
GamerLounge Wireless Gaming Adapter (DGL-3420), a tri-band wireless adapter
that can wirelessly connect Xbox and PlayStation 2 gaming consoles to the
Internet for online gameplay. Additionally, Xbox owners can configure the
GamerLounge Wireless Gaming Adapter directly from the Xbox gaming system,
making installation a simple and easy task.
