I'm reticent to quote Unstrung too quickly, but beyond what I learned via an interview I should substantiate my statement: "Under Terabeam, Proxim has shifted its focus from wireless LAN equipment -- a market dominated by Cisco -- to mesh networks and WiMax equipment." http://www.unstrung.com/document.asp?doc_id=116264 I have no information to suggest that they are abandoning their installed base, just that they are re-focusing.

That wasn't the impression I got a few months ago when talking with the Proxim rep. I wouldn't be surprised though. I'm heavily invested in Proxim product right now and was thinking we would just continue using the AP4000 series to finish my build-out (which will double the number of APs to about 1000). But if they really are abandoning the indoor products, then I need to keep that in mind.
