NEW DELHI: 3Com Corporation today introduced a LAN switch for security and support of Voice over IP (VoIP) and other convergence applications for SMEs.

The switch was designed using open industry standards and is the industry's first stackable LAN switch, according to the company.

It added in a statement that that the new 3Com Switch 4500 family combines standards-based security for user authentication; support for the new TippingPoint X505 and dynamic “plug-and-play” support for multiple vendors' VoIP services.

“Stackable switches are back in vogue and have become part of the security fabric of networks, as well as enablers for IP communications,” said Zeus Kerravala, senior analyst and vice president, Yankee Group. “The ability of the Switch 4500 to recognize any VoIP service provides unique value to customers who prefer best-of-breed technology for converged solutions.”

The 3Com Switch 4500 is a managed 10/100 switch, available in 26-port and 50-port models. It includes extensive Layer 2 switching and dynamic Layer 3 routing functionality.
