Proxim
Introduces Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges for Cost-Effective,
Broadband Wireless Solutions
SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 1, 2004 - Proxim Corporation (Nasdaq:
PROXD), a global leader in wireless networking equipment for Wi-Fi
and broadband wireless networks, today announced that it has added
three new products to its family of Tsunami Point-to-Point Wireless
Ethernet Bridges. The Tsunami QuickBridge II Wireless Outdoor Bridge
and Tsunami.GX 32 andGX 90 point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges
are license-exempt wireless bridges that give service providers,
government agencies, municipalities and enterprises, cost-effective,
high-capacity, broadband wireless connectivity. Amongst the three
products’ industry-leading features is support for integrated voice,
to give customers a simple voice and data connectivity solution that
eliminates the cost and delay associated with deploying traditional
leased line and fiber-based solutions.
The new Tsunami products address a wide range of applications that
can deliver significant time and cost savings to enterprise business
customers, government agencies and municipalities, and service
providers including both wireline and wireless ISPs. These
applications include LAN and PBX extension, voice and data backhaul
from remote Points of Presence (POPs), dedicated connections for
high-capacity subscribers and redundancy between locations.
“Our Tsunami broadband wireless products deliver strong cost and
deployment advantages over leased lines and fiber-based
alternatives,” said Lynn Lucas, vice president of product marketing
for Proxim. “With integrated voice support, the new Tsunami
solutions can extend voice services across campus networks and
beyond.”
Tsunami QuickBridge II
The Tsunami QuickBridge II Wireless Outdoor Bridges are fully
user-installable wireless point-to-point bridges designed
specifically for reliable long distance and low latency voice and
data connectivity. The QuickBridge II products gives customers a
“hop in a box” solution combining two radios, integrated antennas,
cables, mounting hardware and power supply, as well as complete
installation software and audible configuration tools for quick and
easy installation and set-up. For comprehensive network management,
the QuickBridge II combines full SNMP support with a Java-based
management tool. In addition, the QuickBridge II delivers
industry-leading reliability – up to 99.995% RF link reliability.
Finally, the QuickBridge II can provide significant
price/performance improvements as compared to both T1 and leased DS3
circuits. With its dramatic cost savings and capacity that ranges
from 26 to 54 Mbps, the QuickBridge II can enable a variety of
customer business plans and deliver exceptional ROI.
Tsunami.GX 32 and Tsunami.GX 90
The Tsunami.GX 32 + 2xT1/E1 delivers 16 Mbps full-duplex capacity,
at ranges over 40 miles for voice and data services, and features
two integrated T1 or E1 interfaces for channelized voice traffic.
The Tsunami.GX 90 + 2xT1 offers DS-3 (45 Mbps) performance for
distances over 8 miles and provides two integrated T1 interfaces
operating in the less crowded 5.3 GHz U-NII band. Based on Proxim’s
GX broadband wireless platform, the Tsunami.GX 32 and Tsunami.GX 90
deliver the industry’s highest license-exempt output power (+23.5
dBm for 5.8 GHz; +13dBm for 5.3 GHz), embedded software tools to
reduce deployment and management costs and a split-box architecture
that allows for maximum flexibility in customers settings, enabling
all-indoor or combination indoor and outdoor configurations.
