From Teligent to FiberTower to Verizon: An inside look at LMDS, millimeter wave and 5G

It’s no secret that companies including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are eying millimeter wave bands like 28 GHz and 39 GHz for their planned 5G tests and networks. And early assessments indicate that these bands can help speed wireless transmissions to 1 Gbps or higher. But this isn’t the first time wireless players have sought …

Verizon And FCC Push ‘MmWave’ For 5G Wireless, In Dot-Com Twist

When the tech bubble burst in 2000-01, the LMDS startups perished. Technology advances, however, could make the high-frequency airwaves prime candidates for 5G. “In the 1990s, with LMDS, mobile data wasn’t mature, and neither was the Internet, and neither was the electronics industry — it couldn’t make low cost, mmWave devices,” said Ted Rappaport, founding …
