Tropos Networks
Tropos Networks Why It's Fierce: Municipal WiFi is shaping up to be one of the top US wireless stories of 2005. No other company in this market has as much proven success with wide area, municipal WLAN systems as Tropos Networks. Tropos helped pioneer the idea of municipal WiFi networks and the company has a number of impressive deployments, including a network in Chaska, Minnesota, that has become a test case for public WiFi. In addition to its success with the municipal WiFi market, the company has inked deals with major service providers, including NTT Communications in Japan. What To Look For: Expect Tropos Networks to be behind at least three more major municipal WiFi deployments in the next 12 to 14 months. Also, look for the company to sign more deals with service providers. |
