Still more on the Nextlink/DMIC connection... nextlink.com [The above article is dated 14 September 1999] [2nd paragraph states...] During field testing, NEXTLINK will use broadband fixed wireless equipment from Ericsson Inc. (NASDAQ: ERICY), SpectraPoint Wireless, Wavtrace Inc. and Digital Microwave Corporation (NASDAQ: DMIC). Wireless point-to-multipoint and point-to-point equipment from these vendors is being tested in several environments to demonstrate fixed wireless integration for extremely efficient use of the NEXTLINK wireless spectrum and fiber facilities. NEXTLINK has been testing broadband wireless equipment in its multi-million dollar research lab in Plano, Texas for the past year. [6th paragraph states...] Broadband wireless access technology uses small antennas on the top of customers' buildings that send signals to a hub site. The hub then sends the signal through NEXTLINK's robust fiber network to the company's switching equipment that routes the data and voice to local and national inter-city networks. Broadband wireless hub sites will have capabilities to carry data and voice capacity up to OC-3 rates (155 Mbps) in point-to-point configurations; or 672 T-1 (1.544 Mbps) connections to multiple buildings in a point-to-multipoint configuration. [Note: DMIC's Altium radio provides an OC-3 (155 Mbps) capacity.]
