Tero, Perhaps your german is better....

In Berlin last month, at the IEEE wireless convention, there was NOTHING about a 58 GHZ GSM system. I would be very surprised if there was a MOBILE 58 GHZ system out there. Lots of things stop it at that frequency...rain, dew, frost, line of site things... 58 GHZ does NOT go around corners like 1.9 GHz does. Nokia does have WAND, which is at 5 GHz, but this is limited to short ranges and not for mobility at all. If your saying that they use the 58 GHz to replace the backhaul, then this is nothing new, as it has been done for awhile, but usually involves high power, large fixed antennas, line of site, etc...

If you happen to have real technical specs or a pointer to a place where I can read about the systems design, could you post it? If there is a way to do mobility at 58 GHz, then alot of people have missed something for a long time.

Please not from a Marketing type......
