WIRELESS NETWORK SOLUTIONS

Proxim systems have enabled enterprise wireless LANs, education networks, municipal networks, public safety communication systems, wireless ISPs, cellular networks and more. Common applications include:

• Last mile access - the business opportunity for service providers and municipalities. Whatever you choose to call it – last mile, first mile, local loop – the meaning is the same: it's the part of the telecommunications network that links users in any terrain with broadband access. WiMAX and outdoor Wi-Fi Mesh solutions give service providers and municipalities today's fastest path to these markets
• Security and surveillance - combine broadband wireless networks and video surveillance to overcome many obstructions that end users face when attempting to deploy remote surveillance and monitoring systems today. Proxim has also deployed surveillance solutions for live monitoring on public transport systems
• Enterprise mobility - wireless convergence is driven by the shift from stationary to mobile computing, as our tools – laptops, wireless phones, PDAs and messaging devices – change the way we do business. Today organizations worldwide are deploying Proxim Wireless' indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Mesh solutions to enhance the productivity of their staff
• Carrier backhaul - enterprises with multiple sites and locations require high bandwidth inter-network connectivity. Cellular subscribers demand high quality and will change carriers if they don't get it. Data service providers are driving to expand into new markets with new services. Regional cellular providers are seeking additional subscribers. Responding to these demands requires a robust infrastructure to backhaul voice and data traffic loads.
