In today’s highly competitive environments, organizations need to extract every possible advantage from voice technology—especially in promoting collaboration and communications. They need to increase efficiencies, reduce costs and optimize business interactions among co-workers and with customers. How can they ensure they have the best tools to achieve these goals when the pace of technology innovation is so unrelenting?

3Com is implementing a new approach to meeting these ambitious objectives. As it has done for decades, 3Com is leading the way with voice solutions that empower its customers to stay connected with best-in-class, secure, converged voice and data networks. Innovative architecture and intuitive user interfaces deliver high-value solutions that are affordable and easy to implement and use.

Building on its history of being first to bring to market extraordinarily robust, user-friendly networking solutions, 3Com is now offering secure, converged networks that

• enable fast, cost-effective implementation of business communications-a one IP network, many applications strategy that facilitates integration of voice- and business-focused technologies
• ensure communications survivability even in the event of hardware and/or Wide Area Network (WAN) disruption
• drive enriched communications capabilities throughout an organization with easy to deploy, use and maintain solutions

The timeline of 3Com accomplishment continues to advance: invention of Ethernet over 25 years ago, delivery of the first business-class IP telephony solution in 1998, marketing of the first native SIP-based IP communications solution in 2003. Today over 35,000 3Com IP telephony systems are deployed worldwide. The experience of these implementations benefits networks of all sizes.
