3Com Executive to Deliver Keynote at Internet World Argentina SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 1999--3Com Corporation (Nasdaq: COMS) today announced Irfan Ali, senior vice president and general manager, 3Com Carrier Systems will deliver the keynote address at Internet World in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The March 26 speech at 4:30 p.m. (local time) will focus on how converged networks and innovations are changing the telecommunications industry, specifically 3Com's leading edge technology in the areas of IP telephony, remote access and wireless. Internet World is the leading business-to-business Internet tradeshow event in Argentina. Ali will present to an audience of networking professionals, including corporate information technology executives and network managers. "Today the growth and acceptance of the Internet in Latin America represents new opportunities for getting people and businesses more connected," said Ali. "3Com is dedicated to helping telephone companies and ISPs, as well as small to medium businesses, move towards converging technologies that provide a seamless merging of voice, video and data over a single network. We look forward to what promises to be an exciting time for communications in Latin America." 3Com dominates the Latin America networking market as the number one provider of network interface cards and networking hubs and the number two provider of routers. 3Com began serving Latin American customers more than six years ago. Since then, privatization and industry deregulation throughout the Latin America region has accelerated greater competition among telecommunications companies, increasing the number of businesses connected to one another via local and wide area data networks. Whether through transactions with a local bank, e-mail in the office, or going online with the Internet, 3Com has led the charge to offer Latin American businesses and consumers more options and lower costs as they develop and deploy new and enhanced data networks. About 3Com With more than 200 million customers worldwide, 3Com Corporation connects more people to information in more ways than any other networking company. 3Com delivers innovative information access products and network system solutions to large, medium and small enterprises; carriers and network service providers; PC OEMs; and consumers. 3Com -- More connected.(tm) For further information, visit 3Com's World Wide Web site at www.3com.com or the press site at www.3com.com/pressbox. 3Com is a registered trademark and More Connected. is a trademark of 3Com Corporation.
