Tata Communications Selects Proxim Wireless as Supplier of Mesh and Point to Multipoint Unlicensed Broadband Wireless

SAN JOSE, CA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leader in core-to-client
solutions for broadband wireless networks, today announced that Tata
Communications Ltd. has selected Proxim Wireless as its supplier of Mesh and
Point to Multipoint broadband wireless equipment operating in unlicensed
frequency
bands.

Tata Communications Ltd., with revenues of $2 billion, is part of the $29
billion Tata Group, which has a global presence in more than 200
countries.Tata Communications has built one of the largest Global Tier-1 IP
networks in the
world.

The service planning team at Tata Communications evaluated a wide
selectionof broadband wireless products and vendors. The team picked Proxim as
its
supplier for Mesh and Point to Multipoint products due to the excellent coverage
and manageability of Proxim Wireless equipment.

Tata Communications and Proxim Wireless have collaborated on a number of
projects to date including the Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Taj Hotel
properties and Mahindra Resorts. Proxim's Point to Multipoint, Mesh and Wi-Fi
products were deployed in these projects to deliver video, voice and data over
Wi-Fi to the edge of the network. Proxim's dual-radio architecture separates
the
mesh backbone traffic from the edge access traffic, increasing capacity compared
to a single-radio mesh architecture. Proxim's equipment provides both indoor and
outdoor wireless coverage, with seamless mobility, at all deployments.

"Tata Communications was looking for a solution where the features and
functionality of the equipment were the key criteria for selection. We
carefully evaluated a number of potential suppliers and selected Proxim," stated
Mr. Shankar Prasad, President, Retail Business Unit at Tata Communications.

"India is a significant growth market for us. Tata Communications is
India's largest Tier-1 IP network provider, and we are honoured to have been
selected by them as a preferred supplier. Tata's partnership with Proxim will
enable voice, video and data applications over a scalable wireless
infrastructure," said Pankaj Manglik, President and CEO at Proxim Wireless.
