Cabletron, Enterasys and Extreme Networks: the campus switching line

One product heritage runs through three company names, plus the DEC network hardware that joined it early on.

  • 1998: Cabletron acquired the network hardware business of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). DEC-numbered network modules are catalogued under Cabletron.
  • 2000 to 2001: Cabletron reorganised and its enterprise networking lines continued as Enterasys Networks.
  • 2013: Extreme Networks acquired Enterasys and the product lines continued under the Extreme name.

Tech-Star catalogues each part under its original badge: see Cabletron and Enterasys.

Symbol, Motorola, Zebra and Extreme Networks: the wireless LAN line

The Symbol wireless LAN portfolio has changed hands three times, and units in the field carry any of four badges.

  • 2007: Motorola acquired Symbol Technologies.
  • 2014: Motorola Solutions sold its Enterprise business to Zebra Technologies.
  • 2016: Extreme Networks acquired the Zebra wireless LAN business (WiNG controllers and access points). Scanners and printers stayed with Zebra.

Only the wireless LAN line reached Extreme Networks; the rest of the former Symbol portfolio remains with Zebra. Tech-Star catalogues each part under its original badge: see Symbol and MOTOROLA.
