What Proxim Wireless does

Proxim Wireless Corporation, founded in 1982 and headquartered in San Jose, California, designs and manufactures fixed wireless broadband equipment for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connectivity across unlicensed 5 GHz, 6 GHz, and 60 GHz spectrum bands. The company's product portfolio is anchored by the Stratum Series (X5, X3, X1) high-efficiency outdoor radios in 5 GHz and 6 GHz, the recently introduced Proxim GX60 multi-gigabit 60 GHz platform delivering up to 2 Gbps, the Edge Series for cost-effective edge deployments, the ORiNOCO AP-9200R outdoor WiFi access point, and legacy Tsunami series products. Underlying technology includes the proprietary WORP (Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol), the Proxim ClearConnect interference-mitigation suite (DDRS, ACS, DCS, ATPC, HARQ, WSM), BeamX beam steering, and the ProximVision Advanced cloud-based network management platform operating on AWS.

The company generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of these radio systems, supplemented by recurring ServPak extended support contracts (Plus and Prime tiers), ProximVision node licensing, and professional services from its system engineering team. Go-to-market is hybrid: a global distributor, VAR, and system integrator network (covering the US, EMEA, LATAM, Africa, and Asia Pacific) paired with an internal direct sales force running consultative selling for major accounts, supported by a tiered partner program with certification training and project registration for deals above $15,000 MSRP. Target customer segments include service-provider backhaul, smart city and government, intelligent transportation systems, video surveillance, wireless ISPs serving rural connectivity, and outdoor WiFi hotspot operators. Proxim Wireless is publicly traded on OTC Markets under ticker PRXM and has been majority-owned by Japan's SRA Holdings, Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 3817) since July 2018; the company operates a UL-certified US assembly and test facility in San Jose that produces TAA-compliant products for federal procurement.
