D-Link Australia appoints Dicker Data as distributor

D-Link Australia has appointed Dicker Data as a new distributor, expanding D-Link’s reach into the physical security and systems integration channel through Dicker Data’s DAS distribution business.

The appointment gives D-Link access to the Dicker Data Access and Surveillance (DAS) network of physical security and electrical professionals, system integrators and installers - a channel where network infrastructure is increasingly deployed alongside traditional physical security and electrical installations - as well as expanded access to the IT reseller base through the broader Dicker Data business.

D-Link’s portfolio of Wi-Fi access points, managed and unmanaged switches, structured cabling solutions and cloud-managed networking products through its Nuclias management platforms are a "natural fit" for the DAS channel, where demand for network infrastructure continues to accelerate, according to the company.

D-Link will work with DAS to deliver product training and certification programs tailored to physical security, electrical and systems integration professionals.

D-Link Australia MD Graeme Reardon said the line between physical security and network infrastructure continues to blur, with security installers and system integrators deploying more Wi-Fi, switching and networking infrastructure alongside traditional physical security work every day.

"Through DAS, Dicker Data is uniquely positioned in this converging market and we’re excited to bring D-Link’s networking portfolio, training and services to those professionals," he said.

“Bringing D-Link into our physical security portfolio is a strong strategic fit for our channel,” said Gary Meyers, national sales manager for DAS.

“Our security partners are increasingly looking for reliable, scalable networking solutions that are easy to deploy and supported locally. This appointment allows us to deliver exactly that, while continuing to back the channel with the service, expertise and enablement they expect from DAS.”

D-Link products are available now through both DAS and Dicker Data.
