Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service
Multichannel multipoint distribution service, also known as MMDS or wireless cable, is a wireless telecommunications technology that is just beginning to emerge in the United States and other countries. MMDS can be used for general-purpose broadband networking or, more commonly, as an alternative method of cable television programming reception. The MMDS band uses microwave frequencies from 2 GHz to 3 GHz in range. Reception of MMDS-delivered television signals is done with a special rooftop microwave antenna and a set-top receiver box for the television receiving the signals. The receiver box is very similar in appearance to an analog cable television receiver box.
