City of Courtenay, BC Selects Proxim Wireless to Reduce Cost, Increase Flexibility of Backhaul

Proxim Wireless Corporation (OTCQX: PRXM) (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a
leading provider of complete indoor and outdoor wireless broadband
systems, today announced that the City of Courtenay, BC -- working
with MDT Technical Services, a leading wireless system integrator
-- has deployed Proxim's wireless backhaul solutions to connect
buildings throughout the city. The City of Courtenay selected
Proxim's Tsunami® QB-8150 and Proxim's 60 GHz wireless backhaul
solutions to connect two recreational facilities back to the City
Hall, for a cost-effective way to share bandwidth between the
buildings while the city's fiber network was being built out.
"We had an immediate need to provide broadband connectivity to
these facilities, but the fiber network is still being built out
and was not available to these buildings. We needed something that
could provide the same performance as fiber, but with far more
flexibility, the ability to deploy quickly, and with greater
cost-effectiveness," said Yves Bernard, Information Systems Manager
for the City of Courtenay. "MDT introduced us to the Proxim
solutions, and we could not be more thrilled. We were able to
provide economical, wire-like performance to these buildings in no
time. It was a cake walk."
The City is using Proxim's 60 GHz backhaul products to provide
Gigabit wireless performance to each of the recreational facilities
while the fiber network is being built out. Once the fiber network
is complete, the 60 GHz products will be redeployed to fill gaps in
the City's fiber strategy -- particularly where there are physical
limitations, such as rivers and railroads. The City is also
utilizing Proxim's Tsunami QB-8150 wireless backhaul as a
replacement for an existing Cisco Aironet® link, which was
experiencing intermittent connectivity issues due to tree growth.
In both cases, the City had evaluated Proxim and Cisco solutions,
and selected Proxim for its combination of performance and
value.
Proxim's wireless backhaul solutions not only provided greater
ease-of-deployment and flexibility for future network growth, but
also significantly faster return on investment (ROI) than third
party fiber. The City estimates that the ROI on Proxim's 60 GHz
products will be less than 18 months, while the ROI on Proxim's
Tsunami QB-8150 is less than one month.
"Proxim's wireless backhaul solutions are a natural fit for any
scenario where an organization is in need of fiber-like
performance, while offering budget, physical deployment, time to
deployment, and flexibility advantages over wired solutions," said
Doug Petersen, Owner of MDT. "We have a great deal of experience
with Proxim's solutions, and the performance, ease of use and value
are unparalleled in the industry. And with the breadth and depth of
Proxim's complete indoor and outdoor portfolio, they have the
unique ability to provide different solutions for any customer
need, at a variety of price points, while still exceeding customer
expectations."
