The Tropos? System Architecture delivers the
maximum scalability, high capacity, reliability,
and security demanded by customers. The
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 Wi-Fi radio
performance. Tropos complete solution
enables carriers, municipalities and public
safety agencies to deliver city-wide fi xed and
mobile multi-megabit connectivity for IPbased
voice, video and data applications.
The Tropos Mesh OS, including the Predictive
Wireless Routing Protocol (PWRP) is the
industrys most scalable mesh routing
algorithm. The Tropos 5210 outdoor mesh
router, utilizing the embedded PWRP, creates
a self-organizing 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 client throughput or network capacity
