In order to cultivate key networking talents and improve industry competitiveness, D-Link partnered with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University to participate in the “Smart Network Core System Development Flagship Project” of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Department of Industrial Technology Industry-Academia Value Creation Plan. The project will last for 4 years, from October 2018 to September 2022, and a total of NT$ 12 million was invested. In 2022, the project entered its last year. We have conducted cross-system integration planning and discussion with academic teams by introducing the NAT traversal core technologies of IoT-C2C. We have used various technical methods to overcome the challenges of NAT translation. It can directly establish a connection with private IPs externally, providing devices with direct access without having to pass through the cloud server, thereby reducing cloud bandwidth costs by more than 90% and improving product competitiveness. Further, design smart home products (IP-Cam and Doorbell) and integrate with the smart network platform of the academic team to implement commercialization and productization and discuss the co-development directions of IoT cloud platforms, data centers, mobile private networks, and SDN controllers.

Because D-Link has long been invested in the development of the mydlink consumer cloud system and end-user video products, and manages global brand and marketing channels, we have created value for the project execution results. Apart from improving technological certification and integration, we have greatly reduced R&D time, increased product competitiveness, improved technological autonomy in the industry, and driven technological upgrades for upstream and downstream partners. We have also created major benefits for future technological developments and product marketing and promotion.
