Proxim takes aim at 4G wireless

15.07.2009

The QB-8100 offers data rates of 300M and 600Mbps,with throughput of 100 and 200Mbps. These backhaul links can reach over 40 miles. Latency is 1-2 milliseconds, a key requirement to be able to handle streaming traffic such as voice and video, according to Proxim President and CEO Pankaj Manglik.

The MP-8100 offers the same data rates and throughput. It can share that capacity as fixed broadband wireless access for multiple subscribers in offices and homes. It can also be used for cost-effective video surveillance deployments, according to Manglik.

Both radios have two Gigabit Ethernet ports, both which support Power-over-Ethernet. One acts as the uplink, the second as a port for local devices, such as a video camera, which can draw the power it needs from the radio unit itself.

Both use Proxim's own Wireless Outdoor Routing Protocol, and an array of common network management and security standards. Based on the same radio technology, Proxim plans eventually to introduce a 1Gbps product.
