JGoren:

You must mean MMDS: a frequency band around
2.5Ghz which was originally intended
for one-way analog terrestrial wireless cable.
Most original wireless cable operators either
went bust (CAI Wireless) or were teetering on the
edge of bankruptcy until the FCC approved MMDS
frequencies for 2-way digital transmission.
WCOM and Sprint then bought out most MMDS companies
during the last 12 months. The planned use is
for wireless Internet access. The frequencies
do not allow mobile wireless uses, since transmission
requires either line of sight, or what one could
call virtual line of sight (CSCO's VOFDM system).

Equipment vendors in this sector include CAMP, ADAP,
and soon CSCO. Transmission on the BBFW thread
posted a more comprehensive list a few months ago.

Best regards,

Bernard Levy
