He continued: “With this launch, Sify has made a timely and strategic addition to its connectivity solutions portfolio. We are confident that this offering will enhance our customers' experience and help us cater to their fast growing wireless information needs.”
Proxim's product line was reportedly chosen because the company met all the Sify’s criteria, and its point-to-multipoint products offer the best packet processing capacity for last mile access.
Lionel Chmilewsky, senior vice president- International, Proxim Wireless believes Sify’s deployment is a strong endorsement of their WiMAX technology and product line.
