Local Multipoint Distribution
System or LMDS is a broadband wireless technology which
is used to for transferring data, voice, and deliver internet
and video services in the 25 GHz and higher spectrum (depending
on licensing). It uses a cellular like network architecture,
though services provided are fixed, not mobile.
Through this direct wireless
broadband transmission can be done from a local antenna
to homes and businesses within a line-of-sight radius.
So it is a solution to the problem of economically bringing
high-bandwidth services to users. It can give a bandwidth
of up to 1.5 billion bits per second (1.5 Gbps) downstream
to users and 200 million bits per second (200 Mbps) upstream
from the user. |
