You like technology because of what it does for you. But do you like it enough to devote a lot of time and effort to it?

Probably not. Technology should simply be there. Working. An extension of your thoughts and senses.

Here's a radical idea: Complex technology doesn’t have to be complicated. If it’s well designed, it should fit comfortably into your life — not frustrate you, waste your time, and limit what you can accomplish.

Over the years 3Com has gained a worldwide reputation for developing simple, straightforward, no-nonsense networking technology. When we ask people what 3Com means to them, they often reply: "It just works."

We began by inventing Ethernet, the now-pervasive technology that made PC networking practical. This year, we’ve dedicated ourselves to enriching the networking experience by making it more human.

We call this people-focused philosophy radical simplicity. It means simplifying everything about our networking solutions — how you buy, install, use, and upgrade them. So you can accomplish more.

After all, in technology as in life, simple sets you free.
