3Com Selected to Showcase LAN Telephony At NetWorld + Interop LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 1999--This week at the NetWorld+Interop computer trade show, 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq:COMS) will conduct live demonstrations of the industry's latest converged voice and data innovations using the company's award-winning 3Com(R) NBX 100 LAN telephony communication system for small and growing businesses at Network Computing's Real-World Labs' Voice over IP (VOIP) and Quality of Service (QoS) showcase. 3Com's selection by Network Computing for its showcase underscores the company's commitment to deliver quality innovations. The only shipping LAN Telephony solution in the marketplace, the NBX 100 system was chosen above other offerings due to its advanced design. A feature-rich communications platform, the system includes standard capabilities such as built-in LAN and WAN connections and support for the latest industry standards - 802.1p/Q, IP-TOS and DiffServ - to ensure seamless interoperability with the network devices and applications utilized in the showcase and by the industry at large. "Our goal for the Real-World Labs event at NetWorld+Interop is to highlight the industry's most cutting-edge technologies and the vendors who are leading the charge in delivering the most advanced solutions available today," said Fritz Nelson, Network Computing editor-in-chief. "Through venues like our technology solutions demonstrations, we're able to bring to people's attention new networking breakthroughs, such as 3Com's NBX 100 system, that they may not have realized are available to them." The 3Com NBX 100 Communications System, a powerful tool for converging voice and data traffic over a single network, will be the featured telephony product in two demonstrations designed to show how phone calls can be made over routed IP data networks with the same quality and reliability as over a traditional public switched telephony network. To demonstrate that LAN Telephony is available and deployable today, the NBX demonstrations will focus on VOIP and QoS capabilities with standard support for 802.1p/Q. One demonstration will show how real time, Toll Quality Audio communications can be delivered over a heavy traffic data network without any degradation in quality. Another demonstration will show how an NBX Ethernet LAN telephony system can be installed anywhere in the network carrying the communications services of a local NBX 100 user, all running over a routed IP network. "We view Voice over IP to be one of the critical growth areas coming out of networking, as such, we're excited to see this technology being given special emphasis at the show," said Dan Massiello, vice president and general manager, Voice Solutions Business Line, 3Com Network Systems Business Unit. "The selection of the 3Com NBX 100 communications system in Network Computing's showcase comes at an ideal time as it serves to disprove the words of skeptics and reaffirm that convergence is here right now and that customers can begin benefiting from its many advantages." The live 3Com LAN telephony demonstrations will be held at the publication's Real-World Labs booth in the North Lobby between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on May 11th through May 13th.
