414.0. "Competitive Updates?" by ANGLIN::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217) Wed Oct 06 1993 11:14

Is there any competitive information available comparing the DEChub 900 with
other vendor's hubs/concentrators?

I would be especially interested in a comparison of the new Synoptics System
5000.

Thanks.

    I need competitive information also.  
    
    From what I've read, the new Synoptics 5000 has 14 slots and 
    multi-Gb/s throughput is planned.  It will have a 24-port 10BaseT module 
    that can connect to any of 12 backplane Ethernet data paths.  It will 
    support up to a total of 312 10baseT ports.  It will also have UTP 
    FDDI modules.
    
    I also hear that Chipcom is coming out with something slick.
    
    We're in the lead, so how do we keep it?  Help us with some competitive
    positioning please.
    
    Thanks.
