Acer Incorporated(Chinese: 宏碁股份有限公司) is Taiwan’s leading multinational electronics manufacturer. Acer includes within its portfolio desktop computers, laptops, servers, displays, storage, peripherals and PDA’s also known as personal digital assistants. Acer also provides e-business solutions for business, government, education, and home users. Acer also owns the largest franchised personal computer retail chain in Taipei, Taiwan. In terms of sales, Acer Incorporated is the second largest computer manufacturer in the world, behind HP, but recently ahead of Dell. In 1976 Stan Shih founded Acer (originally named Multitech, but later changed to Acer in 1981). The headquarters are located in Taipei.

Acer Incorporated was called in a 1996 article in The Economist, the region’s most impressive company. The same year Acer was the seventh-largest personal computer brand and it ranked among the world’s ten biggest manufacturers of individual components (monitors, optical drives, keyboards). By 1995 Acer was already producing four million computers annually, with over than 25% of them sold under the company’s label. Acer used ground-breaking strategies to bounce back from $22.7 million loss in 1991, earning $205 million on sales of $3.2 billion in 1994.

Shih Chen Jung was born in 1945. Shih’ graduated from National Chiao Tung University top of his class, and later westernized his name to Stan. Stan Shih earned a master degree in 1972 and began work at Qualitron Industrial Corporation as a design engineer. In 1976 Shih, along with several friends, founded Multitech International with only $25.000 initial investment.

Multitech International was designing hand-held electronic games. It soon expanded into the distribution of imported semiconductors. In 1981 Shih renamed Multitech as Acer, name derived from the Latin word that stands for sharp or acute.

MicroProfessor

• In 1981 Acer Incorporated reached international success with the launch of MicroProfessor (teaching software). The same year Acer established Third Wave Publishing Corp. The term third wave referred to the most recent phase of the Taiwan’s computer industry. The first wave was represented by trademark and patent piracy. The second wave was considered to be the clone making, while the third wave was represented by the technological innovation. Although Acer started to do its own research and development, setting itself apart from other Taiwanese competitors, Acer was still releasing PC clones.

• By 1983 Acer was already manufacturing PC clones. However, all the computers and component were sold to larger companies with a stronger brand name.

• In 1984 Shih established Taiwan’s first stock incentive program. Within four years, almost 3000 of Acer’s employees were also stockholders.

• The Third Wave Publishing Corp. started to prove its value in 1986 when Acer released, after Compaq, a 32-bit PC with an Intel 386 microprocessor.

• In 1988 Acer went public, with an average annual growth of 100% from 1976 to 1988 and total net profits of $25 million.

Acer America Corp

• The year 1989 brought both internal and external changes that had a devastating effect on Acer. The internal problems were made by Shih himself, by choosing Leonard Liu as president of the Acer Group and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Acer America Corp. Leonard Liu had a managerial style different from Shih’s traditionally progressive corporate culture. Liu tried to centralize control of Acer, approach that brought him blame for the management exodus (1990-1991). At the same time, the computer industry evolved overnight from a high margin business to a low margin commodity. Because of the price wars, the components prices were pushed down rapidly. Combining the price drop with the economical issues from Taiwan, Acer was nearly not making any profit on the finished product.

• Although the sales improved from $531 million in 1988 to $977 million in 1990, by 1991 Acer was struggling with its first annual loss of $22.7 million. Acer’s stock dropped to 50% of its initial public offering price.

• In 1992 Acer’s headquarters was sold in order to provide a sufficient profit. Three months after Leonard Liu’s withdrawal Shih was determined to improve Acer’s situation in the PC industry, by transforming it from a typical OEM company into one of the world’s leading computer brands. Shih would achieve this goal by using a few revolutionary strategies.

• By 1995 Shih revealed in a Financial World article that he wanted Acer to be more like McDonald’s. Also Shih explained the main problem of the Taiwanese computer manufacturers; their global image is not uniform or consistent quality, although the products are good. This was the first step in shifting Acer’s production and distribution scheme. The first change was the assembling location. Taiwan was left behind, Acer shipping components into 32 different locations around the world for assembly. This production scheme was efficient from the beginning enabling in the same time Acer to include the most recent technology available.

Gateway Inc

• In 1992 Acer launched a multi-user UNIX system, also known as 386 and a 4865x based PCs.
• In 1993 Acer unveiled a new PC that had embedded a RISC chip and the most recent Windows operating system. Instead of creating centrally controlled foreign subsidiaries, Acer launches a network of virtually autonomous affiliates. Each affiliate was managed by a certain group who determined the product configuration, advertising campaigns, pricing strategies, all depending on the location and the market demanding. By doing so Acer allowed that each affiliate to be considered as a local company but still create an image of its own. Also, the affiliate network helped Acer remove the made in Taiwan impression, since it continued to have negative connotations in various regions worldwide. This strategy also helped Acer become leader in important markets, such as Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia.

• In 1995 Acer was already a top selling brand in Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Panama, Taiwan, Philippines, and in Thailand. In 1994 Acer was located on the 14th place on the world’s largest computer manufacturers, while in 1995′ it ranked the 9th place. The year 1994 brought to Acer the end of the financial problems with an increased net income of $205 million. In 1994 Acer had revenue of $3.2 billion, while in 1995 the revenue already increased to $5.7 billion.

• In 1997 Acer started its foray into laptops after purchasing Texas Instruments mobile PC division.

Packard Bell

• In 2002 Acer has annual revenue of $12 billion.
• In 2003 Acer’s revenue totaled $4.9 billion, while in 2006 the revenue was increased to $11.31 billion. Although the America market share has slipped over the last years, the European market share grew constant.

• In 2007 Acer announced that it will acquire its rival, Gateway Inc for $710 million. One year later, in 2008, Acer was preparing for another acquisition, 75% of [[Packard bell|Packard Bell].

In 1994 Shih revealed its latest strategy, to divide Acer into 21 publicly traded business units by the end of the 20th century. The strategy was a success. Today Acer has more than 21 subsidiaries.

1. Acer Africa Pty. Ltd. (50%)
2. SV-Acer Co., Ltd. (49%)
3. Acer Argentina S.A. (Argentina; 42%)
4. Kuo Chi Electrical Co., Ltd. (49.99%)
5. Acer Sertek Inc. (48.99%)
6. Acer Peripherals, Inc. (46.35%)

In 2006, Acer celebrated 30 years since it was founded. Nowadays, Acer is part of the Acer Group which is mainly committed in developing dependable and easy-to-use products, all upon the customer’s needs. The latest driving engine of the Acer Group is to break the last barriers between people and technology, by creating powerful hardware, software and services.

The 10BASE-T (10MB per second) baseband is an implementation of Ethernet which allows stations to connect via twisted pair cable. The 10BASE-T uses UTP cable to connect computers. Both 3.4 and 5 UTP twisted cable is used to actuate the network. The 10BASE-T networks are in general configured in a star pattern. However, its logical topology is that of a bus.

The 10BASE-T name refers to several aspects of the physical medium. The number 10 comes from the 10MB per second transmission speed. The BASE stands for baseband. Therefore, only one Ethernet signal is present on the send or/and receive pair. Furthermore, the multiplexing process lacks form broadband transmissions. The T stands for twisted pair, which identifies the type of cable used in this transmission.

The nominal segment length for a 10BASE-T cable is 100 meters, a substantial improvement from 10 meters found on 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-T. The minimum cable length between computers is eight feet. The maximum number of nodes that can exist on the 10BASE-T network is 1024.

Although previous Ethernet standards, such as 10BASE2 and 10BASE5, specify the exact type of wiring to be used, the 10BASE-T standard lacks this specification. However, this was done in anticipation of using 10BASE-T in existing twisted pair wiring systems that could not conform to any specific wiring standard. Further on, the 10BASE-T wiring includes a specific set of characteristics. Every 10BASE-T link segment must conform to the following set of characteristics that includes specifications, such as timing jitter, attenuation, propagation delay, characteristic impedance, and several distinctive types of noises. These characteristics are expected to be met by 100 meters of 24 gauge unshielded twisted pair cable.

Similar to several other standards, the 10BASE-T standard uses the RJ-45 jacks. The RJ-45 jacks are either wired to the TIA-568B standard or wired to the TIA-568A standard. In the wiring process only the second and third pairs are used, represented in colors by green and orange. The TIA-568A standard directs pair two – orange on pins 3 and 6, pair three – green on pins 1 and 2. The TIA-568B standard puts pair two – orange on pins 1 and 2, pair three – green on pins 1 and 2.

The hub of the 10BASE-T networks acts as a multiport repeater. Each computer is connected to the end point of a cable that is connected to the hub. This can be done by transmitting on pins 1 and 2, and receiving on pins 3 and 6, while a 10BASE-T node transmits on pins 3 and 6 and receives on pins 1 and 2. If the wiring standard is identical on both ends the segment is a patch cable suitable for transmission between a switch, a hub and a patch panel and a node. However, when the wiring standards are reversed on either end of the segment there is a crossover cable suitable for connecting a node to a node or a switch/hub to another switch/hub. The 10BASE-T standard is at its core a StarLAN-10 with the addition of the link-beat.

Located in the OSI model, the 10BASE-T is found at the physical layer. In the OSI model, the 10BASE-T is one of the several physical layer standards for Ethernet. Other standard for Ethernet are 10BASE5, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE2. Ethernet encompasses both addressing at the data link layer and a number of physical layer implementations. The Internet Protocol (which is a network layer protocol) doesn’t usually know whether it is hosted on 10BASE-T or not, even if it known it is being hosted over Ethernet.

• Maximum segment length of 100 Meters;
• Hub to Hub or repeater to repeater links limited to 100 Meters.

• Star topology;
• 4 repeater/5 segment rule of 10Base5 is retained;
• Only two nodes per segment are allowed.

• RJ-45 Connectors;
• Category 3 UTP minimum, preferably Category 5.
