SUNNYVALE, Calif.-L.M. Ericsson will use Proxim Corp.’s ORiNOCO AP-2000 Wi-Fi access point product in its wireless local area network solution for China Mobile, which will enable public hot spots in more than 10 cities and provinces in China.
“The joint Ericsson and Proxim solution will accelerate the deployment of public hot-spot services across China,” said Liang Yongjian, vice president of Ericsson for the China region. “The solution integrates with China Mobile’s existing mobile networks, leveraging its investments in subscriber management, billing and authentication and giving the provider a competitive edge in China’s growing Wi-Fi market.”
Proxim and Ericsson are also jointly developing subscriber identity module-based authentication for secure public hot-spot access via mobile phones.
