D-link products to undergo 'Green' test

Mumbai: D-Link announced that it is defining 'green' requirements for its environment friendly products.

D-Link offers a complete line of Green Technology solutions, including switches, Wi-Fi routers, network attached storage (NAS), Internet-enabled digital photo frames.

The company has instituted a program to which all of its green solutions must comply before being labeled D-Link Green. In order to qualify, products must adhere to requirements that:

* Incorporate D-Link's energy-saving technology

* Comply with green initiatives (such as WEEE, RoHS, and Energy Star)

* Use D-Link's eco-friendly sustainable packaging (such as sleeveless design and soy ink)

“Identifying products as D-Link Green is not arbitrary but is instead a process in which products must comply with the program's specific product requirements and initiatives before qualifying,” said Jayesh Kotak, VP-Product Management, D-Link India. “We will continue to build innovative green technology into these and other product lines as part of our commitment to becoming more energy-efficient without sacrificing performance.
