The move in some ways parallels 3Com's earlier partnership with Huawei Technologies. There, 3Com lacked high-end switching gear (after ditching its previous offerings in a cost-cutting frenzy) and used an OEM relationship with Huawei to get back into that market. It started offering the first product from that relationship a year ago, and then formed a joint venture with Huawei to develop and sell more gear. This move with Trapeze was rumored last month, as it became clear that 3Com needed a partner to sustain its growth in the WLAN arena. Before the Trapeze rumors surfaced, other theories being bandied about were that 3Com would buy a start-up or retrofit its wired switches to handle wireless: <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/0726043comwlan.html> Wireless switches are a relatively new area. With a deal like this, 3Com gets to offer something to larger enterprises, and the two-year-old Trapeze gets a new marketing arm for its products.
