LMDS technology advances through FCC auction

Article Abstract:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted 864 licenses to 104 bidders trying to create new markets for local multipoint distribution services (LMDS). In a move that provided more than $578 million in new funds to the US Treasury, the FCC licensed the spectrum in the 493 Basic Trading Areas (BTAs), with each BTA having a total bandwidth of 1300 MHz and accommodating two licenses granted by the FCC. The licenses can be utilized to provide high-speed Internet access, television broadcasts, video teleconferencing and toll-quality voice services to wireless customers. LDMS utilizes millimeter-wave frequencies in the 28-GHz spectrum to send and receive two-way broadband transmission in cells of around three to six miles in diameter.
