mmW bands - Advantages

NEED:

Broadband data is growing at exponential rates.

Mobile operators, enterprises and service providers

are looking for Gigabit/sec throughput solutions

that can be installed in the shortest period of time at

the lowest total cost of ownership possible.

The delivery of higher data traffic speeds requires

more radio frequency bandwidth and/or more

complex systems..

SOLUTION:

Millimetre wave (mmW) bands - at 60, 70, 80 and 90

GHz - unlock 19 GHz of spectrum providing a huge

frequency availability.

mmW wireless systems provide yet another

advantage over lower frequency wireless systems:

free or very low frequency licensing costs.

In the mmW band of spectrum, wireless systems

can allocate a significantly larger band of the

spectrum to deliver multi-gigabit data rates.
