Proxim Wireless (News - Alert) has signed a distribution agreement with Moonblink Communications, a value-added distributor of broadband wireless equipment throughout the Americas.

As a certified Proxim distributor, Moonblink will now be able to distribute Proxim's WLAN, Wi-Fi mesh, WiMAX (News - Alert) and point-to-point solutions throughout both North America and Latin America.

 

Moonblink will now be able to directly purchase Proxim’s products for resale to VARs in North America and Latin America.

He said that Proxim provides the only complete end-to-end broadband wireless portfolio with integrated management across all technologies, including WLAN, Wi-Fi mesh, WiMAX and point-to-point.

He added that the combined broadband wireless expertise of Proxim and Moonblink is a natural fit, and one that they feel will greatly benefit their reseller partners.
