Proxim Wireless Corporation (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a leading provider
of complete indoor and outdoor wireless broadband systems, today
announced the completion of a communications network with coverage
for the Universidad Autonoma de Chiapas (UNACH), a leading
independent university in Mexico. Eleven of the University's
municipal campuses now have intercampus voice, data, and video
connectivity.
According to a 2011 Ambient Insight research report, 25 million
post-secondary students in the United States will be taking classes
online by the year 2015. In addition, the report states that the
United States market for e-Learning products and services grew to
$18.2 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach $24.2 billion in
2015. While this is a modest 5.9% compound annual growth rate
(CAGR), the report predicts that Latin America is expected to grow
at an 18% CAGR in this market by 2015.
As the demand for higher education through distance learning
continues to accelerate at an astounding rate, the Autonomous
University of Chiapas (UNACH) created "Red UNACH, CERO MAYA" which
is the creation of a cutting-edge information and communication
network. The infrastructure will strengthen the technological and
telecommunications capabilities of the University in its various
centers, schools and colleges, to benefit not only the University
community but also the development of the State of Chiapas.
"The University is committed to its students and the community
by providing high-quality education while strengthening our
academic and administrative processes," said José Samuel Ordaz
Ruiz, Technology Coordinator of Information at Universidad Autonoma
de Chiapas. "During the equipment selection process, we conducted
performance tests to ensure that the infrastructure will meet and
exceed our accreditation standards and multi-campus communications
needs. We were pleased with Proxim's equipment stability which
allowed us to expand our virtual university."
"It gives us great pleasure to supply UNACH with an
infrastructure that will allow students, not only in Mexico, but
around the world to receive advanced education," said Geoff Smith,
Vice President of Sales of Proxim Wireless. "As the University
continues to grow its student base and innovative virtual training,
we are proud to play an indirect but important role in contributing
to the future leaders of the world."
