Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On June 20, 2008, Proxim Wireless Corporation was advised by Fitzgerald, Snyder & Co., P.C. that it was resigning as Proxim’s independent accountants.  Proxim understands that Fitzgerald, Snyder & Co., P.C. is resigning because Proxim’s engagement partner at that firm is leaving that firm.  The reports of Fitzgerald, Snyder & Co., P.C. on the financial statements of Proxim Wireless Corporation and subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.  From January 1, 2006 through June 20, 2008, there were no disagreements with Fitzgerald, Snyder & Co., P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Fitzgerald, Snyder & Co., P.C., would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their report on the financial statements for the applicable periods.  Further, during that same time period, there were no “reportable events” as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

Proxim has requested that Fitzgerald, Snyder & Co., P.C. furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such letter dated June 25, 2008 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

Also on June 20, 2008, the Audit Committee of Proxim’s Board of Directors engaged the independent certified public accounting firm of Mark Bailey & Company, Ltd. as its independent auditors to (i) review Proxim’s interim financial statements for the quarters ending June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 and (ii) audit Proxim’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.  From January 1, 2006 through June 20, 2008, neither Proxim nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Mark Bailey & Company, Ltd. regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Proxim’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to that item) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
