The network, which is funded by the Los Angeles’ Community Redevelopment Agency, was built by PRO 911 Systems and LTSC using the Tropos MetroMesh system .
“This important community and economic development project will provide Internet access and training to local residents and small businesses, while giving tourists and other visitors further incentive to come to Little Tokyo,” said Davis Park, Director of Community Technology Programs at the Little Tokyo Service Center.
“But our wireless network also represents an important effort in promoting digital inclusion and providing to low-income residents the telecommunications access that many of us who are connected usually take for granted.”

Connecting to an outdoor wireless network from inside a home, an office building or city hall often requires reliable, cost-efficient customer premise equipment like access gateways and signal boosters.

3-5 max hops before latency and throughput are thrown out the window.
