KDT solutions for every industry

Moments that made us

For more than thirty years, computer systems, and with them networks and video surveillance, have been changing constantly. Today it is you and us, under the KDT umbrella, who carry this process forward in Iran in our own way, and we will hand it on to future generations.

  1. 2008 It all started here

    We founded Kavosh Dadeh Pardazan Safir with the aim of changing how people see change, so that big changes could be embraced in Iran, and we began our commitment to make the KDT name known worldwide.

  2. 2011 The first Iranian PoE network switch

    In 2011 we built the first Iranian network switch and began the beautiful story of Iranian manufacturing at a time when there was no national drive for domestic production. We moved forward on this path proudly, honestly and steadily, and today we are proud that we stood up to this taboo and proved that we can do it too.

  3. 2012 The first public showing of an Iranian switch

    At the IPAS exhibition in 2012, in a 12 m² booth, an Iranian network switch was shown to the public for the first time.

  4. 2019 Knowledge-based

    KDT was first recognized as a knowledge-based company in 2019 and has been a member of Iran's knowledge-based companies ever since.

  5. 2020 KDT license plate recognition

    Development of KDT's license plate recognition began, from the processing engine to the finished product, entirely inside KDT. Today it is a knowledge-based product and holds the AFTA (Iranian information security) certificate.

  6. 2024 12,000 active network products

    Our total output in 2024 reached 12,000 active network products; customer satisfaction that year: 5,610 of the 5,900 invoices issued.

We think differently, for every product and solution

We share our thinking openly with competitors and colleagues, and in working with partners, designers and end users we try to make a beautiful difference in people's everyday lives.

  • Stability is in our foundation

    Stability is an inseparable part of our organization. It is the main reason people know that KDT keeps its commitments and never walks away from its responsibilities and obligations when times get hard. We do not cancel our commitments because of currency swings, the economy or government policies, and we have always proved, whatever the cost, that we stand by our word.

  • With us, you stay secure

    KDT is currently the only brand that can offer dedicated solutions to keep you secure. KDT's security firmware removes the extra features that are added to network devices for easier access, which makes it a secure, error-free and unique solution. Instant password recovery, without relying on foreign companies, guarantees your access, and local servers for online services can keep you connected even without the internet, over your intranet. We understand how important cybersecurity is.

  • We invest to reach the highest quality

    We keep raising our quality with up-to-date tools and real laboratory and operating environments, and in our factory we apply the latest quality-control policies before and during production to make a difference. We have built several costly laboratories at KDT to keep the quality of our products up to date.

    An official national standards expert is also continuously present in production, completing our quality chain.

We need you to shape the future of KDT

At KDT we are a family. Ethics and fairness are our first organizational principles, and we have built friendly relationships so that we enjoy working together every day in this small community and make a meaningful difference a principle of our organization. Working at KDT will be a unique experience.
