Communications especially in fast developing countries like India. With this
launch, Sify has made a timely and strategic addition to its connectivity
solutions portfolio."
Commenting on Sify's partnership with Proxim, Bhaskar said, "After
testing and evaluating products from a number of manufacturers over a period of
eight months, we chose Proxim's product line because the company met all our
criteria, and its point-to-multipoint products offer the best packet processing
