Scansource adds wi-fi enabling vendor Tropos to line card

ScanSource Security Distribution, a sales unit of ScanSource, Inc., and value-added distributor of physical security products, has added Tropos Networks, the market leader for metro-scale, Wi-Fi mesh network systems, to its line card.

 

By integrating Tropos solutions into ScanSource Securitys product offering, resellers are able to easily convert their wired security solutions to wireless.

By enabling hardwired solutions to become wireless, Tropos products help resellers provide more efficient, larger security solutions that can be installed in expansive environments, including campuses and prisons, where end-users might need multiple wireless network systems. Whats more, with Tropos, resellers can transmit video surveillance over a wireless network, an ever-increasing security need.

Wireless technology is instrumental in the installation of security solutions, in that it frees up cabling, trenching and other associated hardwiring costs, which may be cost-prohibitive for some end-users looking to install security solutions, said Tony Sorrentino, vice president of merchandising, ScanSource Security Distribution. Tropos Networks fills that niche in our security product line, enabling our resellers to further enhance their security offering.
