Peter Chai, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, 3Com Corporation.

3Com Corporation announced several major recent cross-sector business contracts in the Asia Pacific region (APR) in the first half of this year. These significant wins highlight 3Com's penetration into key industry verticals including the telecommunications, government, education, and manufacturing sectors in APR.

3Com's most coveted project win came from TOT Corp.—Thailand's largest state-owned telecommunications company—to deploy networking and voice services for the Bangkok Government Center. For 3Com, the Bangkok Government Center project from TOT represents one of the largest campus network developments in Thailand with about 40,000 voice and data LAN ports.

The products to be used in the network include H3C Switch 9500 and Switch 5500-EI switches, an  H3C Secpath Firewall system from 3Com's China-based H3C operation, and a 3Com TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Network Access Control (NAC) solution.

"3Com is strengthening its position as a trusted provider for vertical solutions because both 3Com and its deployment partners are focused on customising the network according to the needs of various industries," said Peter Chai, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, 3Com Corporation. "In addition to experience and excellent technical support, 3Com's strong price-performance proposition has enabled the company to edge out the other top networking vendors in the industry for these customer wins,"
