Wireless: Proxim and Cayman Delivering Industry's First Cordless Broadband Solution for Shared High-Speed Internet Access into the Home, SOHO - Proxim
Meeting the demands for shared low-cost, high-speed Internet access from the growing number of home and small office/home office (SOHO) customers with multiple PCs, Proxim, Inc., Monday announced that its Symphony cordless networking technology will be integrated with Cayman Systems' ADSL 3220H Internet gateway and ADSL modem.
This agreement marks the industry's first pairing of cordless networking with a broadband Internet access solution for the residential and SOHO market. Now customers can distribute high-speed Internet access to other computers throughout the home or office without installing any new cabling, and can do so regardless of location of computers and other resources within the network. This technology combination mobilizes users, giving them the luxury of high-speed Internet access wherever they choose to use their computers, with minimal setup requirements.
"When you bring DSL into your home, you are likely going to be running extra lines to extend that DSL service in your home," said Daniel D. Briere, president of TeleChoice, Inc., a telecom management consultancy. "That's going to add up quickly in cost, and you still are going to be tied to specific physical locations in your home via some sort of tether. The Cayman/Proxim combo is the ultimate in tetherless solutions because you don't have the high cost of standalone wireless and DSL solutions - you get ADSL and wireless in one package."
The award-winning Symphony Cordless Networking Suite is a comprehensive, low-cost, easy-to-use cordless networking solution which leverages Proxim's more than 15 years of experience providing the world's most popular wireless local area networking (LAN) technology. The ADSL 3220H is a leading digital subscriber line router that can be used with ADSL services being offered by Pacific Bell, SBC, Bell South, and Ameritech, allowing for multiple-Mbps digital Internet access, instead of 56 Kbps access through traditional analog modems.
Customers using Symphony's cordless networking technology to distribute high-speed Internet access from the ADSL connection can share files and printers, and can play network games between computers using Symphony network interface cards for laptops and desktops, all located anywhere within the network of the home or small office.
