Tropos 9532 Outdoor Public Safety Mesh Router

The Tropos? System Architecture delivers the
maximum scalability, high capacity at low
cost and great user experience 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
analysis and control tools for centralized
visibility, provisioning and management, and
purpose-built Tropos routers with peerless
802.11 radio performance. Tropos complete
solution enables citywide mobile and fi xed
multi-megabit connectivity for IP-based data,
video and voice applications.
The Tropos Mesh OS, including the Predictive
Wireless Routing Protocol (PWRP), the
industrys most scalable mesh routing
algorithm. It uses 4.9GHz and 802.11b/g
radio options to form the mesh infrastructure
and provide client coverage and connectivity.
A unique Tropos feature, Spectrum and
Application Based Routing Engine (SABRE),
provides software-enabled policy-based multiband
mesh routing. It reserves the 4.9GHz
band for public safety use, while optionally
allowing the use of 2.4GHz spectrum to
provide fault tolerance and enhance network
capacity. SABRE provides rule-based traffi c
segmentation, separating public safety
from other traffi c by carrying applications
on different spectrum and radios, while
supporting dynamic fault tolerance in the
event of link congestion or failure. It ensures
that each packet is routed along the optimal
and appropriate
path for both
mesh and capacity
injection layers.
SABRE is a component of PWRP that provides
rule-based traffi c segmentation, carrying
traffi c for different applications on different
spectrum and radios while supporting
dynamic fault tolerance in the event of link
congestion or failure.
Utilizing the embedded PWRP, the Tropos
9532 creates a self-organizing and selfhealing
4.9GHz wireless mesh that
intelligently selects the optimum end-to-end
data path through the mesh. Because the
Tropos Mesh OS consumes negligible available
bandwidth, networks can be scaled to many
thousands of routers without any client
