LOCAL MULTIPOINT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Abstract
The demand for affordable, fast data connections is increasing both in the United States and around the globe. There are several reasons why faster connections are not readily available and affordable. They are a complex mix of entrenched interests of the incumbent connection providers, the high costs of wireline upgrades and the associated slow pace, cumbersome regulations, and tariffs; and the difficulty of forcing more data through already crowded data pipes.
A new wireless broadband point-to-multipoint microwave technology called local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) stands ready to bypass those barriers to readily available broadband connections
LMDS is a wireless broadband service and consequently does not require landline wire upgrades, which makes it affordable when compared with landline technologies. And LMDS is lightly regulated and can be used for two-way transmission of voice, video, and data. Finally, the LMDS spectrum is immense. This large amount of radiofrequency (RF) spectrum allows operators to realize data rates above 1 billion bits per second (bps).
