Why Two-Way MMDS?
Two-way MMDS is now considered a key new broadband access technology for service providers that want to get high-speed Internet access connections up quickly, inexpensively and without leasing lines from incumbent network operators. A wireless broadband hub can be deployed quickly and service for customers can be turned up within a matter of hours because service providers need only install and activate antennas at central and customer locations; no wires need be laid nor leased. Broadband fixed wireless is also attractive in that service providers need only invest in network infrastructure after customers sign on.
