Art of Progress: World premiere of the new Audi A8

Audi’s centennial celebration is winding down, but the German brand isn’t quite ready to switch off the lights. There’s at least one more big model debut planned for its 100th anniversary, and in just over a week Audi will pull the sheets off the all-new 2011 Audi A8. Although the uber-sedan will take the stage at the LA Auto Show in two weeks, the world will get its first official look on the opposite coast at Design Miami.

Audi erected a special temporary art museum for the design show, providing a backdrop for the unveiling of the brand’s new flagship. According to Audi, the sedan will be surrounded by an exhibit from the Rubell Family collection called “Beg Borrow and Steal.” There will also be an installation called the “Light Light” made of LEDs and aluminum — a fitting tribute to the new A8’s aluminum structure and LED lighting.

The 100th anniversary year of the Audi brand is set to culminate with a very special occasion. November 30 sees the world premiere of the new Audi A8 – in the extraordinary setting of Miami. Here the brand’s new flagship will be presented in a truly innovative way in the Audi Pavilion, a temporary museum structure. It is to be the focal point of the vernissage “The Art of Progress,” which exhibits cultural and technological progress and echoes the values of the new A8: Vorsprung durch Technik and design expertise that stirs the emotions.

Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, commented on the exhibition concept: “Our claim “Vorsprung durch Technik” also embraces design, which is one of the outstanding elements of the Audi signature. And as top design has now emerged as an acknowledged art form, we see the bridge between art and architecture as a logical step in advancing our brand.”

Miami has long since emerged as the worldwide capital of art and design. With the two high-profile fairs Design Miami and Art Basel Miami Beach, early December is traditionally the highpoint of the season for all art and design aficionados. On the eve of Design Miami the world premiere of the new Audi A8 will be held in this very beautiful setting.

Audi is celebrating the world premiere in unconventional style with a vernissage, which symbolizes the cultural and technological progress embodied in the Audi A8 with its history, its engineering and its emotion-packed design.

Inspired by the guiding principle “The Art of Progress,” the Audi flagship is due to be unveiled in the Audi Pavilion amidst selected art works from the new exhibition “Beg Borrow and Steal,” which belongs to the Rubell Family Collection, one of the world’s most important art collections, and the installation “The Light Light” – consisting of aluminum and LED light – by the British top designer Tom Dixon.

These three areas are linked thematically in the Audi Pavilion. They have in common an innovative and progressive nature and the courage to create new things, and are thus elegantly interlinked with each other in the exhibition. The Audi pavilion also features the latest in wireless communications technology from Sling Broadband; featuring  Wimax 4G Technology.

“Artists, designers and engineers have one passion in common, which becomes evident in the “The Art of Progress” vernissage,” emphasizes Stefan Sielaff, Head of Design at AUDI AG: “And that is the handling of form, function, color and material. To what extent the result is art is decided by the claim behind it, but also by the observer.”

Through December 5 the vernissage in the Audi Pavilion is a satellite of Design Miami and Art Basel Miami Beach, and is open daily to visitors from all over the world to Design Miami and Art Basel.

Furthermore, this year Audi is acting as a designer among designers at Design Miami, where it will also be possible to see the new Audi A8. In the Audi Lounge, the brand’s flagship will be presented as a world premiere in an innovative setting to visitors to Art Basel Miami Beach and Design Miami. This year Audi is the exclusive automotive sponsor both of Design Miami and of Art Basel Miami Beach.

Silicon Valley, April 14, 2009 – Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leading provider of end-to-end broadband wireless systems that deliver the quadruple play, today announced two new WiMAX product lines – the Proxim Tsunami™ MP.16 3300 and Tsunami MP.16 3650. The Tsunami MP.16 3300 operates in the 3.3 GHz band and the Tsunami MP.16 3650 operates in the 3.65 GHz band – both of which are lightly-licensed bands designated specifically to give smaller service providers the ability to extend broadband service without the high cost and hassle of traditional licenses.

The 3.65 GHz band is primarily used to help smaller service providers fill in the broadband service gaps in the U.S., and Sling Broadband – who operates one of North America’s largest wireless broadband networks – has already begun deploying Proxim’s Tsunami MP.16 3650 products to extend its network.

“We have been using Proxim’s equipment for years to deploy thousands of square miles of wireless broadband service, and as a result we’ve been recognized as one of the most reliable broadband networks in North America,” said Addiel Lopez, CEO of Sling Broadband. “With these lightly-licensed 3.65 GHz products from Proxim, it is not only simpler to provide the performance of licensed broadband networks, but also much more cost-effective. This will help us ensure that we can continue to increase the performance of our network to meet future customer demand while maintaining the value we currently offer.”

The Tsunami MP.16 3300 and 3650 offer service providers of all sizes the easiest and most cost-effective to install and maintain, the most secure and interoperable, and the most scalable system for taking advantage of the 3.3 GHz and 3.65 GHz frequency bands. Both product lines consist of an all-outdoor, single sector base station and multiple subscriber configurations (integrated antenna or N-Connector for external antenna).

Quick, Cost Effective Installation and Lower Maintenance Costs

Proxim’s Tsunami MP.16 3300 and 3650 incorporate hardware and software features that reduce labor costs associated with initial deployment and post-sales maintenance.

• Provides consistent deployment & user experience to existing Tsunami MP.16 products via an easy-to-use graphical interface
• Single UV-protected CAT5 cable carries power and data
• Decrease subscriber unit configuration time with integrated and vertical/horizontal polarized antennas
• Eliminate guess work in locating the remote antennas with audible tone and real-time signal strength measurements
• Supports for both local and remote management, removing the need for expensive on-site supports

Secure and Interoperable

The Tsunami MP.16 3300 and 3650 utilize multiple advanced security features to protect operator, residential customer and enterprise privacy.

• AES encryption protects over-the-air transmission
• Client authentication with X.509 certificates
• Password protection of all remote management methods
• Easy integration with existing RADIUS systems for subscriber provisioning
• Weatherized enclosure allows co-location on rooftops – limiting physical access

Scalable Wireless Broadband for All Applications

Drawing on Proxim’s leadership in the point-to-multipoint arena, the Tsunami MP.16 3300 and 3650 products have been developed as platforms to service multiple applications. By leveraging our industry-leading Tsunami MP.11 product line, Proxim is able to bring that expertise in supporting the service provider with a WiMAX compliant product.

• A more scalable approach to system deployment, beginning with entry-level single-sector base stations and growing into six-sector macro base stations with GPS synchronization; this approach lowers the barrier to deploy WiMAX systems and enables a wider variety of service providers to use this technology, from rural providers requiring less dense configurations to metropolitan providers who need to support more nodes at closer range.
• Investment protection through common concept of network design and software feature sets, which includes rich management capabilities, most advanced encryption with AES and authentication via RADIUS, antenna alignment utility, and revenue-enhancing services with bandwidth control
• Leveraging existing software features, mechanical designs and customer channels, Proxim effectively addresses markets such as: Last Mile Access; Security and Surveillance; and Metropolitan Networks

“The 3.3 GHz and 3.65 GHz bands provide a great new opportunity for service providers of all sizes to more cost-effectively deploy licensed WiMAX networks throughout the world,” said Pankaj Manglik, President and CEO of Proxim Wireless. “At Proxim, we also deliver a complete portfolio of additional technologies designed to augment WiMAX – from indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi to Gigabit point-to-point wireless backhaul – providing a single source for service providers looking to capitalize on the cost savings and performance gains of a truly end-to-end wireless broadband network.”

HOLLYWOOD, FL – (January 20, 2009) – Sling Broadband, LLC One of the nation’s largest Wimax broadband network operators announced today that it has been selected as provider of wireless broadband internet service by The City of Hollywood, Florida.

Hollywood a city in Broward County, Florida, Characterized by quaint sidewalk cafés, brick lined walks and unique boutiques, shops, art galleries and dozens of excellent restaurants. The pedestrian-friendly environment is the perfect place to enjoy South Florida; Just minutes from the beach, the downtown district is on the National Register of Historic Places and is the backdrop for year-round festivals, street markets and entertainment.

The new Wi-Fi communications platform will allow Hollywood’s public safety agencies to operate more efficiently while providing free outdoor Internet access to all city residents, businesses and visitors. Wi-Fi users will enjoy Internet access at speeds similar to that of DSL, while the strength of the municipal signal will allow, for example, police officers in squad cars to download information vital to public safety quickly and efficiently over a secure network.

“Today’s approval of this technology project puts Hollywood on the cutting edge of Florida’s cities in providing superior service to its residents and positions us to continue attracting world class technology and life sciences companies,” said Hollywood Mayor Mara Giulianti. “I am particularly excited about Hollywood’s being a wireless city and the versatility it provides.
