Lagos. February 20, 2013: Samuel Ediale, Territory Manager for D Link in West Africa has hinted that the company and its local partner, Technology Distributions (TD) are exploring opportunities to deploy surveillance technologies to help the Nigerian government combat its security challenges.
D Link says that working with TD, both companies are prepared to partner with governments to deploy the security equipment required to achieve optimal surveillance in all Nigerian cities.
“D Link’s IP surveillance cameras, recorders, and servers are ideal for the Nigerian situation – indoor or outdoor” Ediale says.
Ediale dropped the hint following a new award for the Nigerian firm, Technology Distributions (TD) Limited has emerged the best distributor of D-Link products in West Africa.

Presenting the Award, Gary Yang, Executive Vice-President, D-Link International said that Technology Distribution (TD) had in the last two years restructured its D-Link business with a new Product Manager focusing on retail, stockists and the SMB/Mid-Enterprise business particularly in security, routing, wireless and IP surveillance.
“This has led to immediate growth with excellent prospects of sustainability. The Award is in recognition of TD’s impressive distribution channels across the West African region and its turnover contributions from Sub Saharan Africa. TD’s has demonstrated innovativeness in the face of keen competition and harsh economic conditions arising from a stagnating global economy”, he adds.
Modupe Adesiyun, who received the Award on behalf of TD commended D Link for instituting the highly coveted Awards that would stir healthy competition among global vendors.
