"3Com says Microsoft alliance to have no impact on its Siemens venture" January 21, 1999 SAN FRANCISCO, AFX via NewsEdge Corporation : 3Com Corp said its alliance with Microsoft Corp to use the Windows NT operating system in its converged network products has no impact on an existing joint venture with Siemens AG to develop products to transfer voice and video over data transmission networks. Microsoft and 3Com yesterday said they formed an alliance to jointly develop products for networks that carry data, voice and video using internet-based technologies. 3Com will use Windows NT operating system as the software platform for internet protocol, digital wireless data, and cable head-end systems for public carriers and service providers, the companies said. The new alliance will involve developing software for 3Com's SuperStack II and CoreBuilder 9000 local area network switch hardware, the same products involved in the Siemens joint venture, but there is no overlap in product development. "The same hardware is involved, but Microsoft will provide the software, and we are involved with Siemens to develop voice over internet protocol telephony technology. There's no conflict here," said a spokesman for 3Com. Doug Spreng, executive vice president of 3Com's client access business unit, said the alliance is "totally compatible" with the joint venture, and although the company has not discussed the alliance with Siemens, he added that he expects the company to be "totally supportive."
