The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
TP-Link was founded in China in 1996. Dafei Huang built it into a networking company. They make smart home devices. WiFi routers made their name first. Then came the Kasa line of smart plugs and switches. A plug that killed power remotely changed everything for them. Now they dominate smart home IoT in Asia and America. They ship millions of connected devices annually. Kasa remains their consumer-facing brand for everyday automation. One of six thousand six hundred forty-nine brands tracked weekly across major AI platforms.
