Eye New Rollouts, Greater Savings By FRED DAWSON October 5, 1998 Wireless-broadband technology moved one step closer to commercial reality last week, amid new technology developments suggesting that ever greater cost benefits are in store for this mode of access. Teligent Inc. became the first entity to deliver services to paying customers over two-way point-to-multipoint (PMP) transmitters in the high-frequency spectrum region. The company is using a three-cell system connecting 19 customer-building antennae in the Wilshire and Westside areas of Los Angeles. The network segment -- operating over the 24-gigahertz tier, which Teligent is licensed to use in 74 major metropolitan areas nationwide -- had been the test site in Teligent's preparations for commercial rollout of PMP systems supplied by Nortel. The service launch meets the company's target of achieving initial commercial service over the Los Angeles PMP facilities. It also paves the way for integration of such systems into other network segments where the company has point-to-point services in operation, Teligent president and chief operating officer Kirby Pickle said. "As we have tested our initial point-to-multipoint network in Los Angeles during the past few months, we've learned a great deal about how we can maximize the efficiency of our deployment and our systems," Pickle added. Pickle said the company, with more than 900 employees on board, intends to have 15 markets in operation by year's end, including several with PMP segments activated. multichannel.com Hiram EOM
