What is Proxim?

Proxim Corporation is a leader in wireless networking. Like AIR Wireless, it is the only company exclusively focused on both high-performance indoor and outdoor wireless networking, with the broadest range of wireless infrastructure and clients products in the world. Proxim's award-winning line of ORiNOCO wireless local area network (WLAN) products support all Wi-Fi standards and provide unsurpassed computing mobility and security. Its line of Tsunami wireless wide area network (WWAN) Ethernet bridges reliably connect networks between locations up to 12 kilometers apart, and with speeds up to 860 Mbps. The company also makes Lynx, a line of microwave radios used for cellular backhaul. Proxim Corporation was created by the merger of Proxim, Inc. and Western Multiplex Corporation in March 2002, closely followed by the acquisition of Agere Systems' wireless LAN equipment business, including the ORiNOCO product line.
