SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWeb) April 4, 2007 – Proximetry Inc., the technology leader in real-time performance management solutions for wireless networks, today announced that it has received $5 million from a venture financing round led by Munich Venture Partners and Rembrandt Venture Partners. Including additional investors Investec and Windward Ventures, the amount raised fully funds the company's business plan and will be used to expand development of the company's market leading wireless network management solution, AirSync, while fueling growth in marketing and sales activities.
"As many different types of wireless networks continue to grow and converge, we see an ever increasing need for a robust wireless performance management and provisioning solution," said Dr. Walter Grassl, managing partner of Munich Venture Partners. "The result is that going forward market demand in this area will be enormous, and Proximetry's breakthrough technology and its close cooperation with leading research organizations in Europe puts them in an excellent position to capitalize on this growth."
With a foundation originating from key technology and academic organizations, and field proven with several world class customers and partners, Proximetry's core technologies transform standards-based wireless networks into carrier-grade service platforms with essential performance, scalability, and reliability features.
"Proximetry provides an innovative approach to managing wireless networks with its cutting-edge wireless provisioning technology," said Douglas Schrier, general partner of Rembrandt Venture Partners. "Our focus is to invest in technology leaders in new, high-growth markets, and Proximetry with its AirSync solution represents exactly that towards the future of wireless networks and their ecosystems."
A single integrated platform incorporating end-to-end resource and service management functions, AirSync enables real-time provisioning and management of distributed, multi-protocol wireless networks. The result is that overloaded and complex wireless networks can be intelligently configured and manipulated to support the full range of business critical communications from telemetry to rich-media services such as VoIP and video.
"Proximetry is the first company to offer fully-integrated, real-time, carrier-class network management to wireless network operators regardless of technology or business focus," said Tracy Trent, chief executive officer of Proximetry. "Proximetry's solutions provide an easy ability to monitor, predict, control, and optimize all of an organization's wireless network resources, including automatically performing meaningful network detection, configuration, and resource allocation. We are excited to have secured partners that not only fuel the company's growth financially but also harness access to rich technology which will allow Proximetry to capitalize on this global market opportunity."
