Proxim Wireless and net.art Enable Social Inclusion for 3000 Users Across 15,000 Sq. Km. in Germany
FUNKITOWN Service Supports Voice and Data for Residents of Rheinland-Pfalz
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - March 4, 2008) - CeBIT -- Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leader in
core-to-client solutions for broadband wireless networks, today announced
that it has supplied broadband wireless equipment to net.art, an ISP in Bad
Kreuznach, for its FUNKITOWN Internet access and VoIP service across the
region of Rheinland-Pfalz.
net.art required a resilient solution with quality of service in order to
provide its customers with residential high speed broadband voice and data
access across this rural area of 15,000 sq. km. Having evaluated the
market, net.art chose the Proxim Wireless Tsunami MP.11 solution due to its
support for high quality voice transmission and superior feature set. The
Proxim Wireless system is also scalable and robust, allowing for network
expansion as the FUNKITOWN service grows.
"The service has been a great success and our customers in these rural
areas are thrilled that they now have Internet access. We are continuing
to extend the network and expand the service, adding new locations monthly,
which is why we required a scalable, easy-to-install, robust and cost
effective network. The Proxim Wireless system has fully met our
expectations and we are pleased to be working with them as we move forward
with our growth plans," explained Thomas Kremer, Managing Director of
net.art.
"Our technology is proving ideal for these digital and social inclusion
projects covering wide rural areas. This deployment demonstrates the
flexibility, scalability and reliability of our Tsunami product line,"
added Joerg Loesche, Regional Director Central Europe at Proxim Wireless.
