| Start - The following information was obtained
from the 3com website and CRN. |
| 3Com is close to launching a channel-ready, Linux-
based version of its high-end Voice Over IP softswitch. This
product will be for mid- to large-sized customers. |
| 3Com has a joint venture with Chinese networking
vendor Huawei Technologies. In 2004 3Com's router and core
switches, sourced from the joint venture, both saw sequential
growth. |
| In other related news, 3com raised its
requirements for their channel partners. This sudden raise is
close to 3 times the amount of sales previously required by Gold
and silver level partners. |
