Proxim Wireless Corporation (OTCQX: PRXM) (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a
leading provider of complete indoor and outdoor wireless broadband
systems, today re-entered the licensed wireless backhaul market
with the introduction of its Tsunami® GX800 licensed point-to-point
microwave backhaul products. With the addition of the GX800
products, Proxim -- a pioneer of the point-to-point microwave
market -- expands its extensive product line to include licensed
wireless backhaul capable of delivering ultra-high capacity of 622
Mbps aggregate capacity, frequency agility for deployment in more
regions with support of 6-38 GHz, and the ease-of-deployment and
cost savings of a compact form-factor wireless backhaul solution.
What Analysts and Customers are Saying
"With the ever-increasing need for greater capacity in today's
mobile and wireless networks, high-performance and cost-effective
wireless backhaul is an essential requirement for carriers -- and
in many other applications as well," said Craig Mathias, a
Principal with the mobile and wireless advisory firm Farpoint
Group. "Backhaul can be the weak link in 4G network rollouts
without the right products in place. But as we can see in Proxim's
new GX800, fixed broadband wireless has the flexibility and
cost-effectiveness required to really make these carrier networks
fly. And many more applications, including HD-quality streaming
video surveillance deployments, campus interconnectivity,
transportation, and numerous others will benefit from the
outstanding performance and value Proxim is bringing to a market
they know well."
"The video surveillance industry has seen a dramatic increase in
demand for capacity over the past several years, and with the
migration to IP video and streaming HD surveillance, that demand
will only continue to increase," said Jordan Heilweil, CEO of Total
Recall, a leading provider of integrated security &
surveillance solutions. "We are excited about Proxim's Tsunami
GX800 product as it will provide not only enough backhaul capacity
to meet the needs of our bandwidth-intensive deployments today, but
will also allow us to scale those deployments in the future."
"We have been providing wireless broadband solutions to the
African and South African market for over ten years, and in that
time we have seen a consistent growth in the demand for greater,
more cost-effective wireless backhaul solutions," said Darren
Morgan, Sales Manager at Comsol Wireless Solutions. "Proxim has
been a great partner in providing unlicensed wireless backhaul
solutions, and they are bringing that experience to the licensed
market with these new products. The GX800 is a welcome addition to
our portfolio, and we anticipate a great deal of traction for these
solutions as the demand for backhaul capacity continues to grow
throughout Africa and South Africa."
Proxim's IP-centric GX800 products are designed specifically to
enable the transition to IP networks and 4G while balancing
high-performance and cost-effectiveness -- resulting in an overall
reduction in operating expense (OPEX). Key product features and
differentiators include:
High Performance The Tsunami GX800
products provide 622 Mbps aggregate capacity out of the box (they
do not require additional licensing fees to deliver full capacity),
which exceeds carriers' requirements of 300 Mbps backhaul for 4G
rollouts such as LTE and WiMAX. In addition, the GX800 delivers
extremely low latency at less than 100µs -- ideal for voice and
video backhaul in carrier, enterprise, video surveillance and other
deployment scenarios. And with the capability to transmit at 6-28
dBm, the GX800 provides extremely high transmitter output power for
greater distance and coverage.
Frequency Agility The GX800 provides a
wide range of frequency band support from 6-38 GHz, enabling a wide
range of deployment options and protection of spectrum. And with
configurable channel bandwidths from 7-56 MHz, the GX800 supports
very high data rates.
Ease of Deployment The GX800 utilizes a
split-mount architecture consisting of a compact indoor unit (IDU)
and outdoor unit (ODU). The product has an extremely small
footprint, with the ability to install two IDUs in a single 1U
rack. The compact IDU features a universal modem, is frequency
independent, includes a Gigabit IP interface, a second 10/100
Ethernet port, USB port, and in/out of band management.
Furthermore, it also includes simple plugin modules for SDH/PDH
interface expansion. The ODU is also simple to deploy, with both
direct mount and remote mount antenna options.
The GX800 also includes a free link design and optimization tool
to optimize the planning and deployment of every link. The included
software helps plan the link and predict the performance. Also
available are license coordination services to simplify the RF
licensing process.
Ultra Reliable Proxim's GX800 utilizes a
combination of advanced modulation techniques -- including adaptive
code modulation (ACM) with modulation rates of QPSK to 256 QAM --
for exceptional link availability. Proxim has also introduced a
highly-evolved priority-based packet transport system to ensure
proper TDM and data handling.
IP-Centric for Easy Migration The GX800
features extensive Layer 3 protocol support including 802.1q VLAN
and 802.1p QoS for easy management and reduced OPEX. The new
products are also fully supported by the ProximVisionES network
management software, support HTTP, SNMP v2c and Telnet management
protocols, and include thorough diagnostic tools. The GX800 can be
configured for in-band or out-of-band management.
All of these features are delivered as a direct result of
extensive customer feedback over the years. Proxim's history in the
licensed point-to-point market and long-standing involvement in the
unlicensed point-to-point microwave backhaul market has provided
deep insight into customers' current needs for licensed products in
different markets, including:
- Carriers & Service Providers -- As
carrier and service providers prepare for 4G rollouts such as LTE
and WiMAX, licensed wireless backhaul provides an ideal balance of
capacity and cost-effectiveness
- Video Surveillance -- As cities,
governments and other organizations deploy more and more IP-based
video surveillance, wireless backhaul is the most efficient way to
scale systems while allowing for HD-quality video streaming
- Enterprises -- As today's enterprises
look to provide greater network capacity to multiple buildings on a
particular campus, wireless backhaul is an ideal solution for
sharing capacity and avoiding unnecessary recurring leased-line
fees for each building
- Transportation -- As departments of
transportation and other transportation organizations throughout
the world require greater connectivity options for expanding
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), wireless backhaul enables
greater scalability at a fraction of the cost of connecting
multiple components with fiber
- WISPs -- With the increased global focus
of delivering broadband to under-served areas, licensed wireless
backhaul presents a far greater balance of performance and
cost-effectiveness than fiber or copper alternatives, making
"broadband for everyone" a more viable goal
"Regardless of the market or the organization, networks
throughout the world are facing an extreme capacity crunch. Mobile
networks are inundated by the explosion of smartphones that
introduce data-heavy applications; video surveillance networks need
to support the higher bandwidth demands of HD video, and
enterprises of all kinds need to accommodate the many
bandwidth-intense data, voice and video applications being used
today," said Robb Henshaw, Vice President of Marketing for Proxim
Wireless. "But despite the greater demand on today's networks, the
budgets to build out and increase capacity are by no means
unlimited. At Proxim, we have been helping organizations
cost-effectively scale their networks with unlicensed wireless
backhaul for years. With the introduction of these new licensed
wireless backhaul products, we are providing our customers with yet
another high-performance, cost-effective option for expanding their
networks so they can not only meet the capacity needs of today, but
be prepared for the continued demands of tomorrow."
