Altitude Infrastructure is a leading provider in France’s telecom sector, currently serving 19 regions. The company was facing significant network challenges due to rapid growth in bandwidth requirements and the resulting overburdening of its existing infrastructure. Altitude managers decided to address these bandwidth challenges by upgrading to a robust, high-speed, high-capacity backhaul connection.

The new wireless backhaul connection had to be highly cost effective and quickly deployable. Following stringent screening and evaluation of available solutions, Altitude chose Proxim. The solution proposed by Proxim involved upgrading to extremely rugged, high-speed point-to-point IP67 carrier-class Tsunami® QB-8150 radios, which can be deployed and configured rapidly. The upgrade will provide a new, future-proof infrastructure, resulting in substantial cost savings compared to other technologies.

"Proxim’s equipment allows us to achieve an optimal infrastructure for both urban as well as rural areas. We are delighted about the extension of our alliance with Altitude Infrastructure for the deployment of their high-capacity networks in France. Their technical requirements are of an extremely high standard, and we are pleased that they have selected, once again, a Proxim solution due to the capacity, and ease of deployment and functionality offered by the Tsunami® QB-8150 product range."
—Simon Snowdon, Director Commercial of Proxim in France.
