Acronym: ocal ultipoint istribution ystem Telephony: A system developed by Bellcore for Wireless Local Loop applications that supports voice and high-speed interactive data, with the potential to provide bandwidth of as much as 500 Mbps. In the United States, the FCC set aside a total LMDS bandwidth of 1.15 GHz in the 28 GHz, 30 GHz and 31 GHz frequency bands.
ocal Multipoint D istribution ervice: Located in the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands, LMDS is a broadband radio service designed to provide two-way transmission of voice, high-speed data and video (wireless cable TV). US FCC rules prohibit incumbent local exchange carriers and cable TV companies from offering in-region LMDS.
Local Multi-point Distribution Service A broadband service capable of providing local loop services, interactive video, high speed Internet access and a range of advanced multimedia applications.
the kind of broadband wireless metropolitan system in which many CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) are connected to one base station
Local Multipoint Distribution Systems
Local Multipoint Distribution Service. A form of broadband fixed wireless system that operates in the 27-31 GHz range.
Local multipoint distribution service. American standard for high-speed transmission of voice and data using so-called Pmp (Point-toMultipoint) solutions. Used to provide wireless broadband traffic to small and medium-size companies or in apartment buildings
A microwave-based wireless technology that operates at around 28 gigahertz. In the United States and other countries, it is used for fixed high-speed data, Internet access, and advanced telephone and entertainment services in metropolitan areas.
A fixed wireless technology that operates in the 28 GHz band and offers line-of-sight coverage over distances up to 3-5 kilometers. It can deliver data and telephony services to 80,000 customers from a single node.
Local multipoint distribution service. Any service providing high-speed transmission of voice and data from single distribution points to multiple users. Generally, LMDS provides wireless broadband communications to small and medium-sized companies or to apartment buildings.
A fixed wireless technology that operates in the 28 GHz band and offers line-of-sight coverage over distances up 23 miles. It can deliver data and telephony services to 80,000 customers from a single node. LMDS is one proposed solution for bringing high-bandwidth services to homes and offices within the "last mile" of connectivity, an area where cable or optical fiber may not be convenient or economical.
Local Multipoint Distribution Services. A point to multipoint service with two-way capability to transmit voice, data, and other video information. LMDS can offer innovative consumer services such as two-way interactive video, advanced teleconferencing, telemedicine, telecommuting, and high-speed data services.
Local Multipoint Distribution Service. Licensed spectrum above 20GHz. Range is about four miles.
Local Multichannel Digital Service, Wireless cable service providing multiple channels of video programming over high-frequency microwave channels in the 27.5-29.5GHz spectrum. LDMS antennas serve overlapping cells of technology is likely to make LMDS an attractive broadband technology in the future.
Local Multipoint Distribution Service. A point-to- multipoint wireless technology operating in high microwave frequencies.
A fixed, broadband wireless system used for voice and interactive data. Generally used as a lower cost alternative to landline connections for businesses and others requiring high bandwidth connections to public networks.
local multipoint distribution system. Fixed terrestrial wireless service in the 28 GHz and 31 GHZ bands. Transmissions must be within the end user's line of sight. Back to megabits per second (Mbps) Measure of transmission rates. One megabit equals 1,000 kilobits, or one million bits per second.
Local multipoint distribution service. A system for broadband microwave wireless transmission direct from a local antenna to homes and businesses within a line-of-sight radius, a solution to the so-called last-mile technology problem of economically bringing high-bandwidth services to users. LMDS is an alternative to installing optical fiber all the way to the user or to adapting cable TV for broadband Internet service.
A technique for supplying broadband access via a point-to-point microwave digital system. Referred to as Multipoint Video Distribution service in Europe, it operates over a very large frequency allocation, a 1.3GHz band that's generally located somewhere in the range of 28GHz to 45GHz, depending on the country. It is a popular technique for deploying wireless local loop.
Local Multi-point Distribution Services - LMDS broadband services operate over the 28- 31 GHz bands in the US and provide high data rates, but only over a relatively short distance of three miles.
Local Mulitpoint Distribution Service. Located in the 28 GHz and 31 GHz bands, LMDS is a broadband radio service designed to provide two-way transmission of voice, high-speed data and video (wireless cable TV).
