Proxim Wireless Selected as the WLAN of Choice for Microsoft’s TechEd Event for the Seventh Consecutive Year
Proxim’s WLAN to Provide VoIP and Data Connectivity to Over 5,000 Attendees
Silicon Valley, November 4, 2008 – Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leading provider of end-to-end broadband wireless systems that deliver the quadruple play, today announced that Microsoft Corporation has selected Proxim to provide the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for both its TechEd Professional and TechEd Developer events, which are being held in Barcelona, Spain. This is the seventh consecutive year that Microsoft has selected Proxim to provide the high-performance WLAN capable of supporting data connectivity and wireless VoIP for the more than 5,000 expected attendees of each event.
“Our TechEd events are the premier technology education conferences for both IT professionals and developers alike. The wireless network we select each year is crucial not only to keep the conference running smoothly, but to keep our attendees connected and productive throughout the event,” said Luca Balbo, Group Manager, WW Event Marketing at Microsoft Corporation. “The reason we have selected Proxim for our WLAN at these events for seven years in a row is clear – Proxim’s WLANs simply work. They are easy to install, are very cost effective and provide the high-performance needed to handle the demanding network environment of these conferences.”
For both events, Microsoft will be deploying Proxim’s ORiNOCO® AP-4000 access points to provide the high-throughput, security and manageability needed for a network of this size. The entire Proxim WLAN can be installed and operational in a single day, which makes preparation much easier for onsite IT staff while saving time and money. Proxim’s network management solutions provide simple, centralized management of the entire network, as well as enhanced QoS.
