Proxim Wireless Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results

SILICON VALLEY, CA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Proxim Wireless Corporation (OTCQX: PRXM) (PINKSHEETS: PRXM), a leading provider of end-to-end broadband
wireless systems that deliver the quadruple play, today released financial
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Financial Highlights

On a GAAP basis, revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $7.2
million, a decrease of approximately 8.6% from revenue of $7.9 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and a decrease of approximately 52% from
revenue of $15.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. These
decreases were primarily attributable to the continuing impact of the
worldwide economic slowdown on broadband wireless sales. During the second
quarter, sales in the Americas and APAC regions increased, but sales in the
EMEA region decreased.

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, gross margins were 50%, compared
to 55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and 48% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008.

On a GAAP basis, the net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009
was $0.7 million or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2
million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009,
and a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008.

The net income was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on a non-GAAP
basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, which excludes depreciation of
fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and stock based
compensation, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $0.6 million or $0.02
per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and a non-GAAP net
loss of $0.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share for the quarter ended June
30, 2008.

The financial results above reflect discontinued operations accounting
treatment for a portion of Proxim's consolidated operations. The
discontinued operations consisted of the Harmonix Division discontinued
during the second quarter of 2008.

"We are encouraged that our financial results reflect the strengthening of
the global economy in certain areas," said Pankaj Manglik, President and
CEO of Proxim Wireless. "In July we introduced the 8100 series of PtP and
PtMP products, which is the most significant product line Proxim has
introduced in over a decade. These new products squarely target some of the
largest opportunities in the telecommunications market today, and position
us to strongly capitalize as the global economy continues to recover. The
recent equity investment we announced will provide us the resources to
continue our investment in cutting-edge WiMAX and 4G products to meet the
increasing broadband deals of an ever more connected world."

Highlights of Recent Press Announcements Include:

-- Proxim received an equity investment of $7.5 million, with $5.0
million coming from SRA and the rest coming from existing investors
(through a combination of new investment and cancellation of debt).

networking equipment by ordering an additional 600 ORiNOCO access points --
bringing its total to more than 2,600 access points to date.
-- Proxim announced the ORiNOCO® 802.11a/b/g/n USB client adapter,
which enables best-in-class real-world throughput exceeding 150 Mbps for
laptops and desktops when used with Proxim's ORiNOCO AP-8000 and AP-800
access points for the industry's highest performance 802.11a/b/g/n WLANs.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Proxim Wireless' condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with GAAP, Proxim uses certain measures of
financial performance that are non-GAAP financial measures within the
meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These non-GAAP measures may include gross margin, net
income(loss), and net income(loss) per share data that are adjusted from
results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains, and losses, and
to enhance investors' overall understanding of Proxim's current financial
performance and Proxim's prospects for the future. Specifically Proxim
believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both
management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be
indicative of its core operating results. These measures should be
considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but
should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
These non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled
to the GAAP results in the attached tables.

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements in this press release that are not statements of historical
facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions. Proxim Wireless' actual results may differ materially from
the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could
contribute to such differences including those relating to and arising from
the ongoing uncertainty in the telecommunications industry and larger
economy; our ability to increase our sales in the Americas and elsewhere;
our limited capital resources and recent history of significant losses;
the intense competition in our industries and resulting impacts on our
pricing, gross margins, and general financial performance; time and costs
associated with developing and launching new products; uncertainty about
market acceptance of products we introduce; potential long sales cycles for
new products such that there may be extended periods of time before new
products contribute positively to our financial results; decisions we may
make to delay or discontinue efforts to develop and introduce certain new
products; time, costs, political considerations, typical multitude of
constituencies, and other factors involved in evaluating, equipping,
installing, and operating municipal networks; difficulties or delays in
developing and supplying new products with the contemplated or desired
features, performance, compliances, certifications, cost, price, and other
characteristics and at the times and in the quantities contemplated or
desired; commitments we may make to our suppliers relating to orders that
may end up getting cancelled; the difficulties in predicting Proxim's
future financial performance; and the impacts and effects of any other
strategic transactions Proxim may evaluate or consummate, including any
outcome of the current exploration of strategic options. Further
information on these and other factors that could affect Proxim's actual
results is contained in the filings made by Proxim with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov), including without
limitation in the Annual Report on Form
10-K filed by Proxim on March 31, 2009, and will be included in postings
made by Proxim from time to time with the OTCQX (www.otcqx.com) and in its
other public statements, which may be available on Proxim's website
