The Tropos Wi-Fi cell family combines the extended range of cellular technology with the high bandwidth of 802.11 to create anytime, anywhere broadband data networking.

Tropos Networks technology adds intelligence to Wi-Fi to enable deployments that were previously difficult or impossible. The result: broader coverage, minimal installation and cabling costs, and rapid deployments.

Tropos Wi-Fi cells require only power and can be deployed anywhere there is power. Each Wi-Fi cell provides wireless connectivity to standard 802.11b clients and extends the coverage area of the cellular Wi-Fi network.

The Tropos Wi-Fi cells communicate with each other wirelessly through the Tropos Control Protocol, the industry’s first cellular Wi-Fi mesh routing algorithm. The Tropos Control Protocol is one part of Tropos Sphere, an intelligent wireless network operating system to extend coverage and optimize performance.

The Tropos 5110 is UL/cUL listed for outdoor installation and can be mounted on external structures such as buildings or lampposts. Quickly implement citywide applications such as police data communications or wireless public access.
