Business Wire
Proxim Wireless Corporation, a global provider of broadband
wireless equipment and wholly-owned subsidiary of Terabeam, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TRBM), today announced that its Tsunami(R).GX high-speed
microwave point-to-point systems have been deployed to connect 15
facilities within the Buffalo Trails Public Schools system in
Alberta, Canada. Together with seven additional facilities
previously connected using Proxim products, Buffalo Trails now has
a wholly owned wide-area network with the performance of fiber at a
fraction of the cost, augmenting network resources provided by the
Alberta SuperNet. The project was overseen and the network designed
and installed by Vista Telecom Networks, a Proxim Platinum Partner
and one of only five systems integrators authorized to work with
the SuperNet backbone. Alberta SuperNet is a high-speed network
combining fiber-optic and wireless technologies to link
approximately 4,200 provincial government facilities, schools,
health care facilities, and libraries in 429 Alberta communities.
Buffalo Trail Public Schools has taken advantage of the SuperNet
through direct connections at each facility, but has also sought to
deploy a fully redundant, self-sufficient network to ensure 100%
network uptime for critical applications including full-scale video
conferencing for distance learning over several miles. Vista
proposed products from the Proxim Wireless Tsunami.GX series of
high-speed microwave point-to-point radio systems, basing its
recommendation on several key factors. According to Doug Wade, Vice
President of Business Development at Vista Telecom, "Proxim's
Tsunami.GX is unmatched in the market for its combination of
carrier-class full-duplex performance and an attractive price
point. Plus it provides us with the flexibility of indoor-only or
indoor-outdoor installation to overcome a wide range of terrain and
facility challenges and achieve a lower total cost of ownership.
Given Buffalo Trails' sophisticated requirements and a wide range
of challenges, Vista's capabilities and in-house project management
allowed us to integrate all aspects of the project on time and
under budget." "Proxim delivers the benefits of broadband wireless
technologies to education customers worldwide, and we are pleased
