D-Link Showcases Next-Generation Digital Home with 'Link Your Life' Theme at CES

4 January 2010

LAS VEGAS, BOOTH 36232, SOUTH HALL, LVCC, Jan 04, 2010 - D-Link will highlight the next-generation in digital home networking and solutions at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) here this week, demonstrating how today's consumers can enjoy affordable, easy-to-use connectivity in their homes like never before. With a focus on the "Link Your Life" theme, the digital home networking pioneer will preview some of the hottest devices to enhance digital home entertainment, monitoring and connectivity, including:

Home Entertainment

The Boxee Box by D-Link™ -- A winner of the Consumer Electronics Association's Best of Innovations award for 2010, the Boxee Box by D-Link reinterprets what TV should be - it is a set-top box that delivers movies, TV shows, music and photos from a user's PC, home network and the Internet to their HDTV using a remote control. With Boxee software's core social features, it makes it easy for friends to share newly discovered content through social networks like Twitter, Facebook and others.

The D-Link® Pebble™ -- No other media player of its size, style and price offers 802.11n wireless technology with full home networking capabilities. Also a CEA Innovations honoree, it can stream data from wherever it is stored -- in USB thumbdrives, or SD/XM/Flash memory cards, in network storage (NAS) devices, PCs or on the Internet.

Home Monitoring:

The D-Link Home Monitoring Starter Kit™ is an affordable, easy-to-use and innovative "Connected Home Monitor" system that provides homeowners and renters with new levels of security for their property and loved ones. Designed for quick and easy installation by the user, this CEA Innovations Award-winning system connects via broadband router in the home, and can then be remotely monitored and controlled through a personalized web portal account at mydlink.com. Alerts from wireless sensors around the home are instantly relayed by text, email and voice-call to the consumer and their designated contacts.

The Home Monitor can be expanded with the D-Link Home Energy Monitoring Starter Kit™. Another CEA Innovations honoree, it is the first product that lets consumers measure energy consumption of electrical appliances in the home, turning the Home Monitor into the ultimate smart energy "Green Machine". It actually changes the way homeowners or renters deal with the age-old challenge of how to keep their home energy consumption to a minimum. It also provides practical tools for power management. When linked to the Home Monitoring Starter Kit, consumers can use the mydlink™ portal to program devices to power-down when the home is empty, helping reduce carbon emissions and reduce utility bills by saving electricity.

The D-Link 3G Door Phone™ is the newest idea for adding another level of surveillance for the home. It acts like - and is powered the same as - an ordinary doorbell. But it is not ordinary. It is the first doorbell of its kind to allow homeowners to get a full view of visitors to their property from wherever they are - at home or away - using their 3G mobile phones. A built-in fixed focus .1 megapixel CMOS camera captures the images of visitors and streams the information to the PC or 3G mobile device, an LED indicator lets the homeowner know that the device is working, and an illuminated button allows easy visibility when it is dark outside.
