VSAT Goes Wi-Fi With Hughes Network And Proxim Access Solution
Sunnyvale - Oct 16, 2003 Hughes Network Systems has selected Proxim Corp's OriNOCO Access Points as an integral part of its Direcway Wi-Fi Access solution. Each Wi-Fi Access Hot Spot includes at least one Proxim Access Point integrated with an HNS-manufactured, two-way broadband satellite terminal, which provides high-speed Internet access using the nationwide Direcway service. HNS is offering its fully managed solution to Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and other value-added resellers interested in expanding public Wi-Fi Internet access. "HNS can provide Wi-Fi Access virtually anywhere in the U.S. by leveraging our continent-wide Direcway high-speed Internet service," said Mahesh Bhave, vice president at HNS. "We selected Proxim because of its commitment to continuing development of enhanced functionality. Its OriNOCO product line allows us to build a carrier-class solution by incorporating advanced remote network management capabilities at each site." Proxim's OriNOCO Access Points are designed to handle the unique requirements of public hot spot deployments. Their dual-slot architecture enables multi-standard support, higher user density and the option of using one slot to extend the wireless network to other access points for larger locations. Additionally, Proxim's OriNOCO products offer advanced security and remote management capabilities to make deployments more robust and simple. "With its satellite network, HNS has a unique opportunity to provide wireless Internet access anywhere in the country for a wide variety of applications," said Deborah Ablahat-Cipriano, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Proxim. "Proxim is pleased to be part of this opportunity and encouraged by the continued positive reception our OriNOCO Access Points are receiving worldwide."
