Proxim Wireless Corporation, a global provider of
broadband wireless equipment and wholly-owned subsidiary of Terabeam,
Inc. (NASDAQ: TRBM), today announced that its Wi-Fi(R) and WiMAX
products have been deployed to support a campus-wide public Internet
access network as well as a building-to-building wide-area network
(WAN) at the Indian Business Academy (IBA), a graduate business school
in Bangalore, India. The network was designed and installed by
Envision Network Technologies Pvt Limited, a systems integrator and
Proxim Wireless Partner. Proxim also announced the appointment of Ms.
Nishchal Batra as the company's representative in India, strengthening
its commitment to a part of the world where its broadband wireless
technologies can rapidly advance communications infrastructure.
IBA stresses competitiveness as part of its curriculum, and sought
to enhance student development by making real-time information
available anywhere. Originally, Internet access was only available to
students from two fixed workstations, one each in the library and the
computer laboratory. As students increasingly adopted notebook
computers as essential tools of learning, IBA determined that
standards-based, high-speed wireless or Wi-Fi access should be
provided across the campus. Envision set up a trial network using
Proxim's ORiNOCO(R) AP-700 access points covering the library. IBA
observed dramatic improvements in productivity as students were able
to access online information from any location in the library,
including during group meetings. Realizing that the high performance,
low cost, and inherent flexibility of this technology would have
similar ramifications for faculty as well as students, IBA
commissioned a campus-wide network of AP-700s. Envision selected the
AP-700 due to a combination of: interoperability with third-party
Wi-Fi enabled devices; state-of-the-art security including WPA2
encryption; and quality of service (QoS) to support future needs for
converged voice, data, and video communications.
Following IBA's positive experience with Proxim's Wi-Fi product
line, Envision installed Proxim's Tsunami(TM) MP.11
point-to-multipoint products to deliver wide-area connectivity between
buildings located six kilometers (3.75 miles) apart. The MP.11 is a
field-proven product, comprising ruggedized base stations, indoor and
outdoor subscriber units and accessories, offering the capabilities of
fixed and mobile WiMAX for license-free frequency bands worldwide.
"After evaluating the needs of the IBA, we found that Proxim's
wireless solutions were the best match for their requirements," said
Mr. Ashok Deshpande, Chief Operating Officer of Envision Network
Technologies. "We selected the ORiNOCO AP-700 because it showed
superior performance when compared to other products in the
marketplace, and a powerful QoS feature to support voice and video
streaming. We were also very impressed by the breadth of Proxim's
product portfolio, allowing Envision to select complementary wireless
LAN and WAN products from a single vendor."
"Proxim Wireless has a heritage of excellence in serving the
education market with broadband wireless technologies," said Lionel
Chmilewsky, Vice President of International Sales, Proxim Wireless.
"Together with Envision, we have established a powerful network for
IBA, addressing their present needs for ubiquitous access and future
needs for converged IP-based communications. Proxim has strong
momentum in delivering robust broadband wireless solutions including
Wi-Fi and WiMAX to enterprises and service providers around the world,
and we are excited to have Nishchal Batra on board to bring these
capabilities to the Indian market."
