CentraState Medical Center Deploys Proxim Tsunami Products for
Broadband Wireless Network New Jersey Medical Center's New Network
Gives Users Access to Higher Bandwidth Applications, Delivers
Substantially Improved ROI SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 4
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Proxim Corporation (NASDAQ:PROX), a
global leader in wireless networking equipment for Wi-Fi and
broadband wireless networks, today announced that CentraState
Medical Center, a 263-bed, acute-care community medical center in
the growing city of Freehold, New Jersey, has deployed Proxim's
Tsunami products as the foundation of its new broadband wireless
network. The network links the hospital's main site to 120
employees located at five remote sites including a health education
and fitness center, three senior living communities and a health
clinic, and has resulted in easier deployment and greatly improved
Return on Investment (ROI) for CentraState. Using Proxim's Tsunami
45 Mbps point-to-point Ethernet bridges, CentraState is providing
its remotely located employees with high-speed access to the
Internet, email and the main hospital's clinical systems,
educational webinar demonstrations, telecare for seniors and
billing applications. In addition, the medical center is deploying
Proxim Tsunami 60 Mbps bridges to transmit images, such as MRI and
X-ray results, from its remote sites to the main facility. "We were
sold on the many benefits of a Proxim broadband wireless network
including ease of installation, the substantial cost savings as
compared to leased lines, and the fact that we could own and
maintain the network," said Mark Handerhan, Manager of Systems and
Operations for CentraState Medical Center. "The fact that we can
now provide all of our users with fast, convenient access to the
applications they need, means that our employees are also
benefiting from greater productivity -- a benefit that is passed on
to our patients and other customers." "CentraState already had
experience with broadband wireless, but was looking for a solution
that could offer greater capacity and scalability," said Paul
Cummings, Senior Systems Engineer at Source Communications Group, a
local VAR that assisted CentraState with the network deployment and
recommended the Proxim products. "The Proxim Tsunami products met
their needs for improved scalability and performance and are
already being used successfully by numerous leading medical centers
and healthcare providers around the country." Due to the success of
the existing implementation, CentraState plans to expand its
network in the future, and is evaluating Proxim's Tsunami 480Mbps
point-to-point bridges for disaster recovery applications. About
