NEWS:3Com to unveil fast network switch on Monday

biz.yahoo.com

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov 14 (Reuters) - 3Com Corp. on Monday will unveil what it claims will be the fastest networking switch in the industry and a big boost in its rivalry with Cisco Systems Inc.

<<3Com said it will introduce the CoreBuilder 9000, a device that controls the flow of information among computers in a corporate setting. The new switch has up to four times the capacity of similar products from rivals, 3Com said.>>

<<Analysts said the device would fill a big hole in 3Com's product line. 3Com specializes in low-end networking gear such as modems and adapter cards for PCs. The CoreBuilder 9000 would help 3Com encroach on Cisco's speciality in high-end switches and routers.>>


Looks like the competition heats up!

After Friday's dead-cat-bounce, the fast switch news may be used
as a selling opportunity. With COMS's recent record, a wait-and-
see attitude on a new product may be warranted. There will be
plenty of buying opportunities ahead.
