The Tropos? System Architecture delivers the
maximum scalability, high capacity, reliability
and security demanded by customers. Tropos
Architecture combines the innovative and
patented Tropos Mesh OS, the industrys
most sophisticated metro-scale mesh routing
intelligence, with the Tropos operation and
optimization tools, which provide centralized
visibility, analysis and control, and purposebuilt
Tropos routers with peerless 802.11
radio performance. Tropos complete solution
enables fi xed and mobile multi-megabit
connectivity for IP-based voice, video and data
applications.
The Tropos Mesh OS, including the Tropos
Predictive Wireless Routing Protocol (PWRP),
is the industrys most scalable mesh routing
algorithm. The Tropos 3210 indoor router,
utilizing the embedded PWRP, creates a selforganizing
and self-healing wireless mesh, and
intelligently selects the optimum data path to
the wired network.
Because the Tropos Mesh OS and PWRP never
require more than 5% of available bandwidth,
networks can be easily scaled to many
thousand nodes without any client throughput
or network capacity degradation.
The Tropos System Architecture is key to
maximizing network economics, as the
software, management,and hardware
combine to enable the operation of multiple
independent networks on a single metroscale
mesh infrastructure. Individual user
communities can operate independently on
the network, segregating information access,
billing, and access levels
