Proximate provides social communities with several user functions: Messaging, filesharing, and message board. The application is designed to be completely P2P, that is, servers are not needed. It only assumes TCP/IP networking which means that it works over wireless/wired links such as ad hoc WLAN and Ethernet LAN. The application is written in Python for GNU/Linux systems with GTK+ GUI, Nokia N900 being the primary platform.

Proximate was created in co-operation between Tampere University of Technology and Nokia Research Center. The project started at the beginning of 2008.
