Proxim Wireless this week released a new product to take on the other mesh providers by incorporating not just Wi-Fi for client access and mesh connections to extend the network, but also WiMax for backhaul. The three-radio unit is called MeshMAX.
"We've seen in a majority of deployments that municipalities and providers have a need for backhaul connectivity," says Geoffrey Smith, head of marketing and product management for Proxim. "It either isn't where they need it, or at too low a data rate."
