Tropos Networks, Inc.Tropos Networks, Inc.

• Unique technology that enables the world’s first metro-scale, broadband data network solutions – Industry standard– Easily deployed– Readily managed– Scalable– Economical

• Hot spots?– We make hot zones,

hot cities, and hot counties

Tropos Vision – “Any Time, Any Where Broadband”Tropos Vision – “Any Time, Any Where Broadband”

From a laptop in your car… From a PC in the park… From any PDA on the street…

… you can access the Internetat blazing fast speeds

In the not too distant future, imagine… … the house cordless phone working outside,

using the Internet when it’s out of range

… the next iPod downloading music while on the train

… video of your son’s soccer game going directly to your PC - and to the grandparents’ - from the soccer field

Cellular Deployment Limited, shared bandwidth

Uneven coverage

Expensive to deploy and maintain

Cellular is Not Optimized for BroadbandCellular is Not Optimized for Broadband

Hot Spots Offer Limited CoverageHot Spots Offer Limited Coverage

Hot Spot Deployment Wi-Fi delivers broadband

data service in limited areas only

Users must come to the service areas

Cellular data service required for service outside those areas

Metro-Scale Infeasible with Access PointsMetro-Scale Infeasible with Access Points

Each Access Point Requires Wired Backhaul

Economically, organizationally and physically impractical to deploy in large networks

Difficult and costly to maintain
