KPN Hotspots has expanded its relationship with Proxim Wireless for deploying Tsunami 820 point to multipoint products.
In the last eight years, KPN has deployed Proxim ORiNOCO access points in locations including hotel chains such as Van Der Valk, Holland’s largest hotel chain, restaurants and cafes such as Campanile, La Place and AC Restaurants, gas stations throughout the Netherlands offering customers the ability to connect and check email/Internet, NS railway stations and holiday parks such as Centreparcs in the Benelux, France and Germany.
Proxim Wireless said the Tsunami 820 point to multipoint products are cost-efficient subscriber units that connect to Proxim’s standard base station equipment. These products use the latest wireless technology providing secure wireless transmission coupled with the OFDM and MiMO functionality often required by telecom operators.
The products are ideally suited for the outdoor environment (including an IP67 rating) with their compact robust hardware and can be deployed and configured rapidly resulting in substantial cost savings compared to other technologies, said Proxim Wireless.
Robert Kools, manager Operations of KPN HotSpots, said: “As we continue to expand our network to new locations, we have been delighted to expand our relationship with Proxim with the deployment of their Tsunami 820 products.”
“The 820 series launched last year has been well received by our partners throughout the region and has been generally recognized by them all as a great addition to the 8000 series product family,” said Simon Snowdon, director Commercial of Proxim in Western Europe.
