City of Nagpur, India Selects Proxim Wireless for eGovernment Initiatives and Automated Tax Collection

Marketwired
Proxim Wireless Corporation (OTCQX: PRXM), a leading provider of
complete indoor and outdoor wireless broadband ecosystems, today
announced that Vidarbha Infotech Pvt.Ltd. (VIPL), a telecom and IT
solutions provider, has selected Proxim's point-to-multipoint
(PtMP) solutions to provide a city-wide wireless network to enable
automated tax collection and eGovernment initiatives in the city of
Nagpur, India. VIPL utilized Proxim's Tsunami™ MP.11 5054 radios
and ProximVision ES central management system to connect over 34
locations throughout central India's largest city.
VIPL was contracted by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to
connect 18 octroi (local tax) collection stations -- one at each of
the entry points to the city of Nagpur -- as well as 10 zonal
offices and six other locations, including data centers. After
initially deploying equipment from Motorola, followed by evaluation
of other brands like Ubiquiti and Wavion, VIPL and NMC decided to
replace the existing network with Proxim's solutions for greater
performance and support.
"In addition to the scope of the network and number of locations
that needed to be connected, the other challenge was that we needed
to run two distinct applications -- tax collection and eGovernment
portals -- separately on the same network," said Prashant Ugemuge,
Managing Director of VIPL, Nagpur. "Proxim's solutions provided
exceptional performance, as well as the ability to easily configure
VLANs for the different applications."
Since the Proxim wireless network was needed to provide critical
backbone connectivity for NMC's online octroi tax collection
system, the primary requirement was to ensure the entire network
would stay up and running even in the case of a base station
failure. The secondary requirement was to facilitate NMC's
eGovernment portals in the same network, and to have both
applications running on separate VLANs.
"Proxim Wireless not only provided a superior solution, but also
provided network design support and helped set up the entire
network with VLAN capabilities and redundancy," said Ugemuge. "With
the ProximVision ES management system, we are able to monitor and
manage the performance of the entire network from a single
location. Everything is up and running, and we expect the ROI for
this deployment to be less than two years."
"Proxim Wireless specializes in the ability to provide
high-performance, mission-critical indoor and outdoor wireless
networks, regardless of the size of the coverage area," said
Nishchal Batra, Vice President of Sales, Asia, ANZ and Middle East,
Proxim Wireless. "When VIPL and NMC needed an extremely reliable
system that could handle multiple applications with redundancy on a
single network, we were happy to step in and provide a successful
network where competitors fell short."
