The San Mateo Police Department, like most law enforcement agencies its size across the country, has used mobile data radio systems for years. Their Data Radio Corporation system, while useful for computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and text-only incident information, is painfully slow (9.6 kbps), much slower than dial-up. The lack of true broadband connectivity essentially turned their in-car laptop computers into dumb terminals. The metro-scale Wi-Fi solution from Tropos Networks delivered to the SMPD officers a true carrier-class broadband solution quickly and economically. Data rates of 1-5 Mbps are consistently delivered to the SMPD vehicles throughout the Wi-Fi coverage area.
