3Com Corporation Company Profile
3Com has gotten down to business. 3Com sells networking hardware and software, including LAN-level infrastructure gear (switches, routers, gateways), Internet telephony systems, network intrusion prevention systems, and wireless networking equipment for enterprises. The company also provides services ranging from technical support to high-end consulting and systems integration. 3Com sells directly and though resellers and distributors. Once active in the consumer and telecom carrier markets, 3Com is now focused primarily on enterprise customers. The company agreed to be acquired by private equity firm Bain Capital for more than $2 billion in 2007, but the deal collapsed in 2008.
