Proxim's affordable wireless broadband announcement: Proxim announced a consolidated and revised line of wireless broadband products intended to serve residential and corporate customers with an extremely low CPE (customer premises equipment) price expected to be $300 or less. The new system relies on line-of-sight point-to-point service, but the residental CPE comes with an interior window-mounted antenna that the company expects would eliminate 85 percent or more of truck rolls allowing a true customer-installed setup. (I spoke to Proxim last week; more about these products later today.)
