Broadband Wireless Access

|
The term "Broadband Wireless Access" is used to describe radio-based infrastructure used to move data. Frequently these networks operate in the millimeter wave spectrum, where the broad bandwidths desirable to handle large amounts of data are most readily available. These systems compete with a number of "wired" alternatives, including fiber optic links, cable, and plain old telephone lines (POTS). Common end applications include internet access, business data exchange, telecommuting and tele-conferencing. Example networks include LEO satellite systems, licensed microwave and millimeter wave systems such as MMDS, LMDS and MVDS, and point-to-point millimeter wave systems at 24, 28 and 38 GHz.
