Proxim Introduces Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges for Cost-Effective, Broadband Wireless Solutions New Tsunami QuickBridge II and GX Products Provide High-Performance, Low Cost Alternative to Leased Lines and Fiber-Based Solutions SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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 and GX 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.
