*** Proxim's Unveils ORiNOCO Wireless LAN Switching System
(February 9)

Proxim Corporation announced details of its Proxim ORiNOCO Switching
System, a wireless networking product family designed to support voice
and data traffic across wireless LAN networks.

The Proxim ORiNOCO Switching System is designed from the ground up to
support voice traffic, delivering intelligent "no delay" roaming and
load balancing.

The switching system incorporates pre-authentication and per-user,
inter-switch tunneling. It also supports a pre-802.11e-based standard
QoS implementation and a pre-authentication mechanism that registers
voice and/or cellular traffic.

The Proxim ORiNOCO Switching System includes the following.

ORiNOCO Switching System Access Points- These switched access points,
shipping in Q2 2004, are based on the new Proxim ORiNOCO AP-4000 Access

access point options ranging from centralized to distributed
intelligence. Both the Proxim ORiNOCO AP-4000 Access Point and new

Multiple switching products shipping in 2004 - Proxim is integrating
its core voice-over wireless LAN technology as described above into
