Engineering Firm Selects Proxim's New High-Performance Wireless Backhaul Gear to Connect Buildings and Increase Network Capacity
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SILICON VALLEY, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/09/09 --
Proxim
Wireless Corporation (OTCQX: PRXM) (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a leading
provider of end-to-end broadband wireless systems that deliver the
quadruple play, today announced that Sunny Corner Enterprises, an
engineering and fabrication company in Canada, has deployed Proxim's new
Tsunami® QB-8150 point-to-point wireless backhaul products to connect
its buildings and increase network capacity by nine times over its previous
link.
"Our head office is located on the north side of the Miramichi River, and
our fabrication plant is located on the south side. We wanted a
cost-effective way to connect the two locations, without having to deploy a
leased line," said Brett Gallant, Computer Consultant for Sunny Corner
Enterprises. "We turned to Plexus Connectivity Solutions, who deployed
Proxim's Tsunami QB-8150 for wireless backhaul to connect our buildings.
Not only is the cost savings great, but the performance of the network is
amazing."
By utilizing Proxim's QB-8150 products for wireless backhaul, Plexus was
able to quickly and easily connect Sunny Corner Enterprises' two buildings
across the dividing river. In addition to the significant cost savings of
eliminating the need for an additional leased line, the company was able to
provide its satellite fabrication plant with a high-performance link
exceeding 52 Mbps despite going over water and through dense trees.
"Not only were the two buildings across the river from each other, but
there are a considerable number of tall trees blocking any line-of-sight
connection between the buildings," said Terry Bryden, Wireless Specialist
at Plexus. "But with the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) capabilities of Proxim's
new QB-8150 products, we were able to quickly set up the 3.5 km link
achieving greater than 52 Mbps -- despite the interference caused by the
water and the trees. It's incredible."
Proxim's Tsunami QB-8150 products, which were introduced in July, combine
MIMO and OFDM technologies with Proxim's Wireless Outdoor Routing Protocol
(WORP) to provide high-performance wireless backhaul and connectivity. The
radios can provide up to 300 Mbps data rate performance over distances of
more than 70 kilometers, with extremely low latency of 1-2 milliseconds. In
addition to advanced features like QoS, VLANs, bridging and routing, the
QB-8150 also operates in a wide range of frequencies including licensed,
unlicensed, and public safety frequency bands.
