New Update

There was no change in the Top 3 positions. Cisco occupied the No. 1 slot

with around 32.6 percent of the marketshare. Itwas way ahead of its competitors

as even the combined turnover of Enterasys, D-Link, Nortel, and Avaya was far

lower than Cisco’s turnover. This year, transmission equipment was not

included in Networking Masters.

registered negative growth. The excellent performance of VSAT vendors helped

them enter the Top 10 Club. 3Com India was unable to repeat its previous

performance but its service provider unit, CommWorks, secured the sixth

position.
