The
MetroMesh OS, including the Tropos Predictive Wireless Routing Protocol
(PWRP™), is the industry’s most scalable mesh routing algorithm. The
Tropos 3210 indoor MetroMesh router, utilizing the embedded PWRP,
creates a self-organizing and self-healing wireless mesh, and
intelligently select the most optimum data path to the wired network.
Because the MetroMesh OS and PWRP do not require more than 5% of
available bandwidth, networks can be easily scaled to many thousand
nodes without any client throughput or network capacity degradation.
Tropos
MetroMesh routers require only power and can be deployed anywhere it is
available. Each MetroMesh router provides wireless connectivity to
standard 802.11b/g clients and seamlessly meshes with the Tropos 5210 outdoor MetroMesh router to extend the coverage area of the metro-scale Wi-Fi network.
The Tropos 3210 extends the metro-scale Wi-Fi coverage area indoors,
providing the same high performance, scalability, metro-scale mobility
and multi-use network capability as the Tropos 5210 to hard-to-wire
indoor environments.
METROMESH ARCHITECTURE
The
patented Tropos™ MetroMesh™ architecture is the key to delivering the
incredible benefits of metro-scale Wi-Fi coverage. MetroMesh offers the
performance, low cost, reliability and security that service providers,
public safety agencies and municipalities need. MetroMesh combines the
industry’s most sophisticated metro-scale mesh routing intelligence,
designed from the ground up to optimize throughput in a dynamic
metro-scale Wi-Fi mesh environment, with carrier-grade centralized
element management and a purpose-built hardware platform with peerless
Wi-Fi radio performance. The Tropos MetroMesh architecture leverages
Wi-Fi to enable high-performing, safe and secure metro-scale mesh
deployments that were previously difficult or impossible. The result:
the fastest, lowest-cost and simplest wireless broadband solution
available anywhere, with >2x the performance of other mesh routing
protocols, the ability to scale to thousands of Tropos MetroMesh
routers providing hundreds of square miles of contiguous coverage and
up to 7x better price-performance than alternatives.
MetroMesh
is key to maximizing network economics, as the software, management and
hardware combine to enable the operation of multiple independent
networks on a single metro-scale Wi-Fi mesh infrastructure – without
compromising performance, reliability or security. Individual user
communities can operate independently on the MetroMesh, segregating
information access, billing, and access levels. The result is one
capital investment that can be leveraged over time across a variety of
customer bases, making it the most economical solution available today.
