OK. You mentioned some convenient factors regarding Tropos.
But what software benefits does it have over other MESH that will allow it
to work better than other mesh?
Thats what really matters, and I'm not sure that they have a superior
software platform. Refering to intelligent routing and such. How does it
handle when a path goes bad? Any comment on that?

A Tropos unit has a 1W transmitter, is capable of being powered via PoE or
via AC delivered through standard outlets as well as a variety of
photo-cell taps including high-voltage ones. When powered with AC, it is
capable of providing PoE power out of its Ethernet ports supporting
equipment from Motorola and Trango even though neither using standard PoE.
It mounts like a dream, includes level bubbles for perfect orientation, and
units can be slid into and out of place with only a single screw enabling
nodes to be changed in less than 5 minutes. Quite simply, a Tropos unit is
beautifully engineered.
Where can I find the parts to make the same thing in a single package?

Then there are companies like airmatrix that charge less than 1k per
node.
The key with mesh is density, and many mesh startup's fail because they
Underbuild their networks.

I don't know what equipment they are using, but Cisco AP1500's (mesh)
are
abnout $3700 each and Cisco recommends 18-20 per square mile. Thats
$74,000
for the boxes plus antennas, mounts, POE and install.
