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.
