Brazil's Airport Administration Selects 3Com and its H3C Enterprise Networking Solutions to Modernize Local Networks of Brazil's Main Airports.Infraero to implement 10G Ethernet backbones and wireless switching solutions for 11 Airports BRASILIA, Goias -- 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq: COMS COMS 3Com Corporation (stock symbol) COMS Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist COMS Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems COMS City of Manchester Stadium (UK) ) today announced that Infraero, the government-run airport administration for Brazil, selected 3Com and its H3C enterprise networking The networking infrastructure in a large enterprise with multiple computer systems and networks of different types is extraordinarily complex. Due to the myriad of interfaces that are required, much of what goes on has little to do with the real data processing of the payroll and orders. solutions to provide the network infrastructure for its network upgrade project for 11 of the main airports in the country. The aim of the initiative is to increase the performance and security of the airport's wired and wireless networks to support the increasing demand of passengers and employees. Infraero estimates that by using 3Com's H3C enterprise networking devices it will achieve a 100-fold increase of performance on data, voice and video applications used for flight information systems, air traffic control, surveillance and IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. systems. "This decision was based on detailed technical and financial analyses, as well as matching the original design with our needs. Choosing the 3Com solution turned out to be the best option, as it met all three criteria", said Hercules Santos Santos (sän`t  s), city (1996 pop. 412,288), São Paulo state, SE Brazil, on the island of São Vicente in the Atlantic just off the mainland. , IT Manager, Infraero.
More than 800 networks points distributed between 11 airports are planned for the first phase of the project. In addition to the TippingPoint [R] IPS (1) (Inches Per Second) The measurement of the speed of tape passing by a read/write head or paper passing through a pen plotter. (2) (IPS) (Intrusion Prevention S solution deployed by Infraero, the administration will leverage the following solutions: * 3Com[R] Switch 8800 also called H3C[R] S9500 10-Gigabit Ethernet core switch series for high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. * 3Com Switch 5500G also called, H3C S5600 Gigabit stackable switches with 10-Gigabit uplinks * 3Com wireless access points * 3Com Site Survey and Installation Services "The Infraero team implemented a highly competitive and thorough review process and we are very pleased to have proven to our capability to deliver high-performance solutions while demonstrating an ability to lower their total networking costs," said Robert Ruiz, vice president and general manager, 3Com Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. . "We look forward to working with Infraero to provide a modern network infrastructure that supports the increasing demands of its employees and passengers." The initial phase of the project includes upgrades to a 10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. backbone to replace an ATM network for Guarulhos (SP), Galeao (RJ), and Salvador (BA) airports. The technological upgrades in these three airports complements projects already concluded on airports with large network demands, such as Congonhas (SP), Santos Dumont (RJ), and Viracopos (SP). The project developed by 3Com for Infraero is similar to that employed by the company at Beijing's International Airport in China. About 3Com Corporation 3Com Corporation is a $1.3 billion global enterprise networking solutions provider that sets a new price/performance standard for customers. 3Com has three global brands--H3C, 3Com, and TippingPoint--that offer high-performance networking and security solutions to enterprises large and small. The H3C enterprise networking portfolio--a market leader in China--includes products that span from the data center to the edge of the network, while TippingPoint network-based intrusion prevention See IPS and IDS. systems and network access control solutions deliver in-depth, no-compromise application, infrastructure and performance protection.
