D-Link has the cool tech gifts to keep families connected this holiday season

The holidays are a time when people want to stay in touch, and D-Link has cutting-edge gift ideas to help friends and family keep connected to the Internet, and each other. Whether streaming music, photos and video throughout the home or wireless connectivity geared for gaming and productivity, D-Link solutions make the perfect digital gift for the most important person in your life.

The possibilities are endless with these great digital holiday gifts:

In the holiday spirit of sharing, consider the D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media (DIR-855). Duo technology in the DIR-855 supports dual-band (2.4GHz & 5GHz) wireless signals at the same time. This allows you to check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously streaming High-Definition (HD) movies and other media on the 5GHz band. The DIR-855 is designed for users looking to get a true HD wireless connection that can handle multiple HD video streams throughout the house, while being backward compatible with existing 802.11g and 802.11a products.

Create a wireless network for your home/SOHO using the D-Link Wireless G Router (DIR-320). Connect the Wireless G Router to a broadband modem to wirelessly share your high-speed Internet connection and enjoy surfing the Web, checking e-mail, and chatting with family and friends online. The Guest Zone function provides secondary SSID of wireless connection and secondary routing domain, separating them from the main network domain for better security and management. And what is more, the DIR-320 includes a USB port for connection to a USB printer for just over R600.

For the travelling businessperson in your life, the D-Link AirPlus Wireless Pocket Router/AP (DWL-G730AP) makes an ideal gift, offering a portable, convenient wireless solution. This pint-size router packs a punch, delivering 802.11g wireless connectivity and maximum signal rates for use in conference rooms, hotels or at WiFi hotspots. The DWL-G730AP supports multiple operation modes including: Access Point (AP) mode to create a wireless connection; Router mode to share an Internet connection; and Wireless Client mode to connect to an existing wireless network. Easily switch between these modes by using the three-way configuration switch located on the bottom.

Finally, an Internet surveillance camera that anyone can use! Away for the holiday? Keep an eye on things with D-Link's Wireless Network camera (DCS-920). The DCS-920 will provide friends or family with an effortless way to monitor the home, children and pets by providing remote monitoring via the Web, e-mail alert snapshots, live video monitoring over the Internet on a PC, and the ability to share camera feeds, even in low-light situations. 802.11g wireless technology allows you to place the DCS-920 in places that were previously inaccessible such as ceiling and walls.

The D-Link 2-Bay or 4-Bay Network Storage Enclosure (DNS-323/343) is the ideal way to save all those memories of the family collected on your hard drives over the years. Now anyone can instantly add two or four hard drives as storage for all PCs on the home network to share. You'll never have to worry about running out of storage space with up to four terabytes of disk drive capacity and even more when larger SATA hard drives become available. In addition to storing precious photos and important files, these Network Storage Enclosures can serve as independent media servers to stream digital content to all users on the network and to compatible media players (such as those found in D-Link's MediaLounge product line).

The D-Link product range is available through D-Link's network of retail outlets, value-added resellers, solution providers and distributors.
