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 Tropos operation and
optimization tools, which provide centralized
visibility, analysis and control, and purposebuilt
Tropos routers with peerless Wi-Fi radio
performance. Tropos complete solution
enables city-wide fi xed and mobile multimegabit
connectivity for IP-based voice, video
and data applications.
The Tropos Mesh OS includes the Predictive
Wireless Routing Protocol (PWRP?), the
industrys most scalable mesh routing
algorithm. The Tropos 4210 mobile routers,
utilizing the embedded PWRP, create a selforganizing
and self-healing wireless mesh, and
intelligently select the optimum data path to
the wired network. Because the Tropos Mesh
OS and PWRP do not require more than 5% of
available bandwidth for protocol overhead,
networks can be easily scaled to thousands of
nodes without client throughput or network
capacity degradation.
Tropos 4210 mobile routers create a mobile
infrastructure to extend the Tropos fi xed
wireless network and expand the network
coverage area. The Tropos 4210 offers
wireless access to Wi-Fi equipped client
devices in its proximity and extends the mesh
by providing wireless
uplinks to other Tropos
routers. Further, the
Tropos 4210 provides
in-vehicle
