The objective of the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is to provide a standards-based technology that allows consumers to easily enjoy digital music, pictures and video that reside on separate devices. Since its introduction in June 2003 by Sony, the Digital Living Network Alliance has, up until January 2011, certified more than 9,000 different devices ranging from mobile phones to consumer electronics.

It is estimated that the Alliance has sold more than 440 million DLNA-certified devices. These devices include mobile handsets, TVs, PCs, DVD and Blu-ray players, game consoles and cameras. While there may be many other devices that support the standard, certification ensures that a device works seamlessly with other DLNA devices; DLNA-certified devices carry a unique green logo and the ‘DLNA’ acronym on the back.
