Proxim's Ultra-Secure Tsunami(TM) MP.11 HS Wins Network Products Guide Reader Trust Award as Best Security Solution for

SILICON VALLEY, CA, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leading provider of
end-to-end broadband wireless systems that deliver the quadruple play,
today announced that Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley
Communications publication and a leading publication on technologies and
solutions, has named Proxim's Tsunami(TM) MP.11 HS (High Security)
products the winner of the 2008 Best Products and Services Award for Best
Security Solution for Government. This respected annual award honors
products and services that best satisfy the rapidly changing needs and
interests of the end-users of technology worldwide. As part of the
tech-industry's leading global awards program, this year's Best Products
and Services were nominated from all over the world.

What is Ultra-Secure Broadband Wireless?

The Tsunami MP.11 HS product family is Proxim's ultra-secure broadband
wireless solution for wireless voice, video, data connectivity, and
mobility, combining FIPS 140-2 level 2 compliance, advanced AES-256
encryption, and secure management to meet strict U.S. Federal Government
standards. Whereas competitors' approaches to high security wireless
broadband require multiple products to be bolted together to achieve FIPS
140-2 compliance and AES-256 encryption, Proxim is a truly integrated
solution that offers these security features -- as well as secure
management -- in one box. By combining this high security with the high
throughput required for bandwidth-intensive video, the Tsunami MP.11 HS
solution is ideally suited for use in security video surveillance in
ports, cities, and along transportation infrastructures. To read more

of products is innovative in that it meets the government's strict
requirements for wireless security while maintaining the performance
needed for wireless voice, video and data."

"To have the Tsunami MP.11 HS family of products selected by the editors
and readers of Network Products Guide for the Reader's Trust award is yet
another validation of our commitment to ultra-secure broadband wireless,"
said Geoff Smith, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Proxim.

of 128-bit AES encryption on every one of its wireless broadband
products, and with the MP.11 HS, we now extend government-grade wireless
security to all organizations."
