Proxim Wireless is the first company to enable the convergence of Wi-Fi mesh, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi access in a single integrated device, the company said in a statement. MeshMAX provides significant benefits to service providers, municipalities, and customers planning to deploy Wi-Fi mesh and WiMAX. MeshMAX enables a new deployment architecture that increases the capacity of mesh networks, simplifies their deployment, and provides outdoor mobility for the 300 million-plus Wi-Fi clients.
"Proxim's MeshMAX is the right product line at the right time," said Daryl Schoolar, senior analyst, In-Stat. "The convergence of WiMAX and mesh is a natural evolution in broadband wireless, as it maximizes the strengths of both technologies. Proxim Wireless is well-positioned to deliver this integrated product family because of the company's long history of providing enterprise-class wireless networking products and point-to-multipoint distribution systems."
Proxim MeshMAX products are currently being evaluated by service providers in a number of countries including Chunghwa Telecom, one of the largest telecommunications operators in Taiwan.
