Our cellular Wi-Fi system enables ubiquitous, metro-scale broadband coverage, leveraging the advantages of Wi-Fi, such as high throughput, low cost, and the pervasiveness of client devices.

Tropos Networks’ cellular Wi-Fi solution includes indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi cells which run the Tropos Sphere network operating system, the Tropos Control element management system, a live 24/7 support program and professional site survey, design and deployment services. Tropos also offers outsourced network monitoring and management via qualified third-party service providers. In short, our solution delivers everything you need to install and operate a metro-scale cellular Wi-Fi network.

3110 Indoor Unit

Tropos 3110 Indoor Wi-Fi Cell:

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 a lightweight control protocol containing 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 3110 is designed for indoor installation and extends coverage inside any structure. Quickly implement large scale applications with a combination of the Tropos 3110 and the Tropos 5110 outdoor unit.

Management System

Tropos Control Element Management System:

Tropos offers a centralized network manager that provides real-time monitoring and control, allowing remote configuration and software upgrades.

Providing full visibility into the network, the system enables network operators to prevent problems before they occur. The Tropos element management system supports SNMP, allowing operators to monitor the wireless network alongside their wired network.

Tropos Control is fully optimized for the wireless environment. Each wired Wi-Fi cell gateway acts as a proxy for the wireless nodes communicating through it, minimizing wireless network management traffic.
