   And thus we have made you a wasat (moderate) community, that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.

# Bridge Communications

Bridge Communications, Inc. was an American technology company founded in 1981 by Judy Estrin and Bill Carrico in Mountain View, California. The company developed computer network bridges, routers, and communications servers, specializing in interconnecting different types of networks. According to Estrin, the company shipped the first commercial router.

## History

Bridge Communications was founded in June 1981, when Judy Estrin and Bill Carrico left Zilog to address the growing demand for devices that could connect computers running different network protocols. Early on, the company recruited technical leaders who helped develop multi-protocol routing and bridging products.

### Acquisition by 3Com

On September 30, 1987, Bridge Communications was acquired by 3Com. The acquisition allowed 3Com to integrate Bridge Communications’ expertise in multi-protocol networking with its established Ethernet product lines, expanding 3Com’s offerings in both local and wide-area network solutions.

## Products

Bridge Communications produced a variety of networking equipment designed to operate across multiple protocols:
* Network Bridges and Routers: Devices supporting protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet, XNS, and IBM’s Systems Network Architecture (SNA), enabling heterogeneous systems to communicate.
* Communications Servers: Terminal servers and similar devices that allowed multiple users to access central computing resources over different network types.
These products helped enterprises unify disparate networks at a time when proprietary standards often prevented interoperability.

## Legacy

Bridge Communications is remembered for its role in pioneering multi-protocol routers. According to co-founder Judy Estrin, the company’s shipments included some of the earliest commercial routers, anticipating the move toward the open-standards Internet Protocol (IP). After the acquisition, many of Bridge Communications’ technologies and personnel were integrated into 3Com, which continued to expand its network product portfolio.
