Full-featured Router Family
The 3Com Router 5000 family delivers
flexible, cost-effective routing for the
medium enterprise to small office. Available
in rackmount configuration, these modular
routers let your network adapt to meet
changing business needs. Flexible LAN
and WAN components—Smart Interface
Cards (SICs) and Multi-function Interface
Modules (MIMs)—provide scalable, 
efficient, and secure network operation.
Built-in support for converged voice, data,
and video provides advanced Quality of
Service (QoS) and traffic management
capabilities—integrating seamlessly with
your existing network equipment. With 
its high-speed processors, open interfaces,
multiple industry-standard protocols, and
high-performance routing and software
redundancy features, the 3Com Router
5000 family offers an ideal price-to-
performance network solution.
Competitive Advantage
All Router 5000 models come with
maximum operating memory
, and complete
routing and security features and 
applications set as standard—unlike many
competitive products. This eliminates hidden
upgrade costs and so enhances return on
investment (ROI). The routers also support
dual software images which assists in
recovery and provides rollback capabilities.
End-to-End Solutions
These routers are key components of 3Com's
range of high-value, customer-focused data
and voice solutions—used by enterprises
worldwide—which provide competitive and
complete network operation, management,
and maintenance. A 3Com system delivers
dependable high-performance today with
the scalability and flexibility to expand
tomorrow.
Interoperable
The buying criteria for routers have
changed over the past few years. As a
result, a multi-vendor routed and switched
network is a reality among many customers
today. Because of this trend, 3Com’s network
solutions have been engineered to be
standards-compliant and to work and 
interoperate in all types of business 
environments.  
3Com WAN routers are “Tolly Verified for
Interoperability with Cisco”
. This reduces
your implementation and testing time, as the
question of multi-vendor interoperability 
has been removed.
