Proxim's Wireless Network Again Chosen to Support Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 Europe More Than 6000 Professionals Expected to Use Proxim Wi-Fi Guest Network SAN JOSE, Calif., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Proxim Corporation, a leader in wireless networking equipment for Wi-Fi and broadband wireless networks, today announced it has been chosen for the fourth consecutive year to deploy its wireless networking solutions to support Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 Europe in Amsterdam. More than 6000 professionals are expected at Tech-Ed, Microsoft's flagship European Technical educational conference for developers and IT professionals focusing on current and soon-to-be-launched technologies. At last year's Tech-Ed 2004, a Proxim WLAN network incorporated over 4700 wireless client machines, making it more than two and a half times bigger than any such network Microsoft had ever deployed in Europe. Commenting on the choice of Proxim products to provide the wireless network, Andrew Cheeseman, Technical Manager, EMEA Events for Microsoft, said: "Proxim provides a world class solution in the AP4000 and a world class team to support Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 Europe. We've seen tremendous success in the past, and expect once again to set precedent with the largest wireless hotspot in the world." Lionel Chmilewsky, Vice President of International Sales at Proxim, added: "We're extremely proud to be chosen by Microsoft, for the fourth consecutive year, to provide the kind of leading-edge technology required for this type of event. At Tech-Ed 2004, our AP-4000s delivered unmatched capacity, security and scalability. We look forward to breaking new records with Microsoft again at this year's Tech-Ed 2005 and at other Microsoft events." Proxim will deploy over 100 ORiNOCO AP-4000 enterprise-class tri-mode access points, each supporting 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g protocols, to cover the complete Microsoft event for the week. Proactive security measures including rogue access point detection, coupled with secure management interfaces and industry standard Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), make the ORiNOCO AP-4000 Access Point an ideal solution to set up guest and employee networks, or simplify moves, additions and changes. Proxim Corporation will also be exhibiting at Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 and displaying its full range of indoor Wi-Fi and outdoor point-to-point, point- to-multi-point Broadband Wireless products. Proxim's ORiNOCO Smart Wireless Controller is one of 29 finalists for the Best of Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 Europe Awards conducted by Windows IT Pro Magazine and SQL Server Magazine. Winners will be determined and announced at Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 Europe in Amsterdam at an evening awards reception on Thursday, 7th July.
