"3Com Achieves Unprecedented Market Share Leadership in Ethernet Technologies" Company's Enterprise LAN Solutions Win Top Billing in Each Key Workgroup Segment SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 1998--Global networking leader 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq:COMS - news) has achieved unprecedented market share leadership in Ethernet technologies by becoming the first vendor to achieve top positions in ten categories of Ethernet technology for the LAN workgroup. The company's success, verified by the latest report for Q1CY98 from market analysts, The Dell'Oro Group and In-Stat, is based on increasing customer demand for its market-leading SuperStack(R) II 10/100/1,000 Mbps enterprise workgroup networking solutions, OfficeConnect(R) small business networking solutions, and Fast EtherLink(R) XL desktop NICs and ASICs. Achieving market share leadership in more Ethernet categories than any other vendor, 3Com is followed by Bay Networks with three categories and Cisco with two categories of leadership. At the desktop, 3Com has achieved dramatic market share gains and leadership in NICs and, for the first time, market share leadership in networking ASIC silicon. This combined success confirms that 3Com has clearly achieved leadership in Ethernet, the most popular local area networking technology for business enterprises. ''3Com has extended its market share leadership position not only in legacy 10 Mbps Ethernet technologies but also with significant market share gains in new, higher-performance, 100 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps Ethernet technologies. By taking early market share leadership in the new, dynamically growing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet segments, 3Com is best-positioned to lead the industry in the next technology wave -- converged voice, video and data networks.'' commented Edgar Masri, 3Com senior vice president and general manager. biz.yahoo.com Mang
