Northrop Grumman Deploys Proxim Broadband Radios for U.S. Air Force Digital Wireless System
SILICON VALLEY, CA, Dec 20, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Proxim Wireless Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a leading provider
of complete outdoor wireless backhaul systems, today announced
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has deployed the Theater
Deployable Communications (TDC) Wireless Distribution Module (WDM)
for the U.S. Air Force using Proxim Wireless Tsunami(TM) MP.11 HS
4454 equipment. Northrop Grumman developed and produced 140 WDM
suites for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Hanscom Air
Force Base, Mass.
Proxim Wireless' Tsunami(TM) MP.11 HS 4454 is an ultra-secure FIPS
140-2 level 2 certified point-to-multipoint solution for federal,
Department of Defense and NATO applications. It supports a wide range
of frequencies with support for NATO and unlicensed frequency bands
at very long distances using a single dual band radio with built-in
AGC.
The TDC is a ground-to-ground communications infrastructure that
transmits and receives voice, data and video communications via
wireless, satellite or hard-wired sources. It is an essential
communication infrastructure for computers, phones and imagery,
especially in mission critical remote locations. WDM is the newest IP
networking component of the Air Force's TDC system and consists of a
single radio, operating in both commercial and NATO frequency bands.
"Fielding of TDC WDM puts the next-generation of wireless networking
in the hands of today's warfighters," said Chris Maier, senior
program manager of deployable communications for Northrop Grumman
Information Systems. "As an industry partner with the military, we
understand the complexity of the government's need for
state-of-the-art remote communications with the assurance of
security, accessibility and reliability. Proxim's HS 4454 equipment
has been tested at distances greater than 45 miles in both the NATO
and unlicensed band."
"Northrop Grumman has been instrumental to the Air Force's
communication systems and choosing the most qualified and certified
equipment vendors," said Geoff Smith, Vice President Business
Development, Strategic Accounts at Proxim Wireless. "Our equipment
has been a trusted source of communications for local, state, and
federal government agencies as well as humanitarian relief operations
due to mobile, modular and quickly deployable systems."
