"NEC switches will plug Bay Networks sales gap" Last updated: Friday, Feb. 13, 1998, 8:30 p.m. Reports compiled from Mercury News staff writers and wire services. Bay Networks Inc. said it will begin selling high-speed switches made by NEC Corp. to fill a gap in its line of computer-networking equipment. Santa Clara-based Bay Networks, the No. 3 networking company, now doesn't have so-called asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM, switches fast enough or with enough connection ports to be attractive to large corporate buyers. Competitors like 3Com Corp. of Santa Clara and Cisco Systems Inc. of San Jose make such switches. The market for ATM switches, which let companies carry data and voice traffic on the same network, is expected to grow significantly this year as more large corporations look to ATM-based networks to cut telecommunication costs. sjmercury.com Mang (and I always thought BAY is much more high-tech and enterprised than 3COM)
