Overview
TP-Link Technologies Co., Ltd., is a global manufacturer of computer networking products based in Shenzhen, China.
History
TP-Link was founded in 1996 by two brothers, Zhao Jianjun ( Zhào Jiànjūn) and Zhao Jiaxing ( Zhào Jiāxīng), to produce and market a network card they had developed. The company name was based on the concept of "twisted pair link" invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a kind of cabling that reduces electromagnetic interference, hence the "TP" in the company name.
TP-Link began its first international expansion in 2005. In 2007, the company moved into its new 100,000-square-meter headquarters and facilities at Shenzhen's Hi-Tech Industry Park. TP-Link USA was established in 2008.
