Lee Gopadze Becomes Proxim President and CEO

   Proxim Wireless Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a leading provider of complete indoor and outdoor wireless broadband systems, today announced that Lee Gopadze has been appointed as Proxim's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Gopadze is a twenty-five year wireless communications industry executive having held senior management roles at both large and small wireless communications companies. Mr. Gopadze most recently was Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Wholesale Business Division of Covad Communications. Mr. Gopadze oversaw all sales, marketing, product management, and operations for that division. Mr. Gopadze also held similar positions with Covad's Branded Business and Wireless Divisions during his 6-year tenure there.

Mr. Gopadze began his career in wireless communications in 1981. He has held a variety of senior executive positions in Marketing, Sales and Operations at the wireless subsidiaries of Metromedia Telecommunications, Southwestern Bell, and AirTouch Communications. From 1997 thru early 2000, Lee held the positions of Corporate Vice President - Marketing & Sales, Senior Vice President - Network Operations, and Senior Vice President - Corporate Planning & Development at Metricom Inc.

During his early tenure at Metricom, Mr. Gopadze was responsible for directing the company's marketing and sales strategies to transition from a consumer ISP model to a wireless broadband business to business ISP Internet access model. In 1999, as a result of his extensive wireless operations background, Lee was given operational control for all site acquisition and network deployment activities for the initial 20 markets for the Ricochet high-speed network across the United States.

In 2000, Mr. Gopadze left Metricom to co-found SkyRiver Communications Inc., a license-exempt broadband wireless carrier and served as its President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Gopadze holds a B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles and an M.A. from the University of Southern California

"With an extensive background in leading wireless communications carriers and service providers, I look forward to utilizing that knowledge and experience to lead Proxim to deliver high quality, innovative, and value-driven wireless communications infrastructure products and services," said Mr. Gopadze.
