SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM APPOINTS PROXIM WIRELESS AS OFFICIAL
WIRELESS NETWORKING SUPPLIER
SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM is proud to welcome Proxim Wireless Corporation
(NASDAQ: PRXM), a leader in core-to-client solutions for broadband
wireless networks, as official team wireless networking equipment
supplier for the Formula One season commencing in Melbourne,
Australia.
Proxim ORiNOCO AP-4000 Dual Radio Access Points will be installed
in the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM motor homes and hospitality areas,
as well as in the pit garage and other external facilities.
All the indoor and outdoor Access Points will interconnect
to provide a seamless Wi-Fi network across the area. The AP-4000s
offer mesh functionality ensuring a reliable, secure and easy-to-deploy
wireless network, which removes the need for leased lines
and reduces associated costs.
Proxim Tsunami QuickBridge wireless bridges were used during
the Formula One season last year, providing a bridge between
the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM pits and the server truck. These easy-to-install
QuickBridge products proved reliable and robust throughout
the season, which led the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM to choose to
deploy the Proxim ORiNOCO AP-4000 Access Points this year.
Gavin Noble, Radio Communications Manager, SUPER
AGURI F1 TEAM
“We’re always looking for ways to reduce costs.
By using a wireless network instead of leased lines at the
race tracks offers us significant savings. The QuickBridge
products were really successful last season and we’re
confident that the AP-4000 Access Points will be highly beneficial
to the team during this season. We’re also considering
video monitoring and wireless VoIP for this season using Proxim
Wireless technology.”
Anthony Fulgoni, VP International Strategic Sales,
Proxim Wireless
“Following our successful Wi-Fi network at the Daytona
500 in Florida, we’re really pleased that our technology
is now going to benefit the SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM during the
prestigious Formula One Grand Prix season.”
