Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Cyrus Behroozi, the Chief Scientist of Tropos Networks
(http://www.troposnetworks.com) will be presenting the Tropos wireless mesh
technology at the next SOCALWUG meeting Thursday 7/22/04 at 7pm (Pacific).

Tropos' products transform Wi-Fi into a scalable, reliable infrastructure by
layering intelligence on top of Wi-Fi to create a new class of products,
Wi-Fi cells. Wi-Fi cells self-organize and, using wireless backhaul, forward
data to each other along the optimal path to a wired network connection.
Tropos' system uniquely enables economical, metro-scale Wi-Fi by eliminating
the need for each Wi-Fi node to have a wired connection.
