Xircom

Xircom, Inc., was an American computer networking hardware and mobile technology company. Headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, Xircom was one of the first companies to develop network computing products for notebook computers. Products included computer memory cards, LAN adapters, modems, and remote access server products. The company's products enabled notebook users to share information over a network connection.

During its existence, the company possessed manufacturing facilities in Penang, Malaysia, and international offices throughout Europe and the Asia Pacific. In 2001, Intel acquired Xircom and in early 2003 laid off most of Xircom's Thousand Oaks employees.
