D-Link expects revenues from its international business unit, which covers markets in Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, Russia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, will grow 30-40% in 2008 from the US$400 million projected for 2007, according to Tony Tsao, president of D-Link's international unit.

By market segment, D-Link Japan revenues are likely to hit one billion yen (US$8.95 million) in 2008 from 250 million yen in 2007. D-Link has established business relationships with 10 telecom service operators in Russia, with Russia revenues to see a 50% on-year growth in 2007, Tsao said.

D-Link has three additional marketing units covering its business in the US, Europe and the Greater China area, respectively.
