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.
