NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 1999--

Award-Winning Camp Hill K-12 School District Utilizes RangeLAN2

to Enhance Learning as Schools Move Toward Tight Integration of

Technology in Curriculum

Enabling teachers to use networked resources in curriculum by delivering computers with web and network access to each student for interactive, real-time instruction via wireless networking, Proxim, Inc., (NASDAQ: PROX), and Camp Hill School District of Camp Hill, Pa., today at the SchoolTECH Exposition and Conference announce an ongoing partnership enabling wireless computing for the district's more than 1,000 students. This leading wireless education technology is being demonstrated at the show in Proxim's booth No. 416.

Proxim is the world's leading supplier of spread spectrum wireless local area networking (LAN) products to both OEMs and wireless solutions providers with its RangeLAN2 product family and RangeLAN802 IEEE 802.11-compatible product line. Camp Hill has the nation's first district-wide wireless networking implementation, and was recently named one of the nation's 20 "Gravity Breaking Schools" by the American Association of School Administrators for its wireless networking capability.

Now each student enrolled in the Camp Hill School District has access to a computer, printers, the Internet, and high-speed learning applications, all shared wirelessly through Proxim'RangeLAN2 technology. For example, students utilize laptop computers networked with wireless technology to study using on-line textbooks and reinforce lessons with accompanying courseware. Also, teachers can grade papers online, and have email for improved communication with others.

"Wireless LANs are a key component in helping us meet our goal to bring computers and network access into the classroom for improved student learning,"said Dr. Cornelius Cain, Camp Hill superintendent of schools. "Now with Proxim's technology, instead of buying too many computers and wasting space on labs, we deliver laptops with network access right to our students in class. We wanted computers in every class so we could recover lab space and keep students in their classrooms and engaged with the globes, maps, and other tools used there, but the wiring expense was prohibitive. Proxim solved most of our connectivity problems, and helped us receive national recognition for being on the forefront and using wireless LANs as an advantage for the students."

The district has three carts which contain a printer and 20 laptop computers equipped with a Proxim RangeLAN2 PC card, creating durable, light-weight, long-lasting mobile education tools. Camp Hill has installed 40 Proxim RangeLAN2 access points, providing for coverage in and around two elementary school buildings, one high school facility and an office, spanning nearly 13 miles.

"We are pleased to provide our industry-leading wireless LAN products to students and faculty at Camp Hill as the school district continues to facilitate collaborative computing and instructional use of networked resources," said Brian Button, Proxim Sales and Marketing vice president. "Education is an exciting market because through real-time network access and shared information schools can flexibly deploy networked computers into the classroom and integrate computers into curriculum. Proxim's wireless technology can help in this movement by extending the most advanced instructional tools to each student for a more enhanced learning experience."

The products are designed to provide the industry's best combination of features for mobile wireless local area networking applications, including high speed, long range, low power consumption, network scalability and advanced network management. Microsoft incorporated RangeLAN2 into its Handheld PC Pro Edition software, because RangeLAN2 is the only solution available today to enable wireless connectivity of small handheld devices, such as those running the Windows CE operating system, because of its smallest form factor and industry-lowest power consumption requirements for improved battery life.
