Tropos Unveils Mobile Wi-Fi Cell for In-Vehicle Deployment

Tropos Networks introduced a high powered and flexible mobile Wi-Fi cell for in-vehicle deployment. The platform could be used in public safety vehicles (police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, etc) to extend tactical networks into uncovered areas on a temporary basis. The new product incorporates the Tropos Sphere Network Operating System (NOS) and the company's Predictive Wireless Routing Protocol (PWRP). It transmits at the maximum FCC allowable EIRP of 36 dBm, overcoming the transmission power limitations of most Wi-Fi clients (which typically transmit at 20 dBm or less). http://www.tropos.com
