Multichannel multipoint distribution service. A broadcasting and communications service that operates in the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) portion of the radio spectrum between 2.1 and 2.7 GHz. MMDS is also known as wireless cable.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System (see also).

Multipoint Microware Distribution System. A wireless broadband technology for Internet access.

Microwave Multipoint Distribution System

Multichannel, Multipoint Distribution System. A wireless cable system capable of being encoded for pay-per-view and subscriber services.

(Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Service) A single transmitter can distribute cable television and broadband services to multiple users through a wireless network; often called wireless cable.

Multi-point microwave distribution system.

A fixed wireless technology that operates between 2.5 gigahertz (GHz) and 2.7 GHz. MMDS is used for broadcasting, personal communications and interactive media services in metropolitan areas.

Multipoint Microwave Distribution System (also known as Wireless Cable)

Multipoint Multichannel Distribution System. Often called "wireless cable", a system that distributes several channels of programming via microwave.

Multi-channel Microwave Distribution System: an analogue broadcasting medium which allows distribution of a number of analogue television channels (typically ten). Used to provide 'cable television' in areas where cable-laying is not viable.

Microwave Multichannel Distribution System. A distribution service for TV signals using microwave transmissions. Also called multichannel video distribution system (MVDS). In the US, it is called "wireless cable".

Microwave Multi-Channel Distribution System. A TV distribution service using microwave transmissions. Also called multi-channel video distribution system (MVDS). In the US, it is called 'wireless cable".

Multi-channel Multi-point Distribution System. This technology is a carrier service for short distance line of sight transmission of a TV programming to selected locations. Subscribers use a specialized antenna and converter combination to receive the signal, which may be scrambled to prevent unauthorized reception. Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS) – A common carrier service used to transmit private TV programming or data to locations within a metropolitan area. It is used to transmit special TV channels to hotels, and to transmit pay TV programs to cable systems.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System. A microwave based access network that operates at 2 GHz bands and has larger coverage than LMDS of up to 35 miles. Also see LMDS.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service. A form of broadband fixed wireless system that operates in the 2 GHz range. Also known as "wireless cable".

Multi channel Multipoint Distribution System. Terrestrial microwave system used to distribute high-bandwidth services to end-users at homes and offices. Advantage of MMDS over satellite-based services is in its ability to include local content programming.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service, wireless method of remotely sending conventional cable TV service to rural areas or over long distances using microwave radio frequencies.

A fixed wireless service for data, voice and video which operates in the 2.5 GHz band in North America and in the 3.5 GHz bandwidth internationally.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Systems are channels used to provide wireless cable service, a viable option to wired cable. Frequency bands start at 2.5 GHz and cover a geographical region of customers who should be in direct line of sight of the transmitter for the microwave to get to them reliably.

Multichannel Microwave Distribution System. A system whereby microwaves carry television signal from a central transmitter to viewers in a reception area.

A broadcasting and communications service that operates between 2.1 GHz and 2.7 GHz. MMDS also is known as wireless cable. It was originally conceived as a substitute for conventional cable TV. However, it also has applications in telephone/fax and data communications.

Multipoint Multichannel Distibution Service. Licensed spectrum in the 2.5 2.6GHz band. Range is 30 miles or more.

Multi-channel, Multi-point, Distribution Service, "wireless cable" broadcasting. Wireless cable technology using frequencies in the 2.5 - 2.7 GHz band. One antenna can serve line-of-site customers in a thirty-mile radius. Customers use a twelve-inch dish to receive the signal and require a set-top box to descramble it. MMDS is very popular in much of the developing world because of the relatively low cost of passing a large number of subscribers. While analog systems have been limited by a relatively small number of available channels, new digital systems utilizing mpeg-2 compression promise to increase dramatically the capacity and the attractiveness of this broadband technology.

Multipoint Multichannel Distribution System. Offers programming via microwave transmission. Also known as wireless cable.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service. MMDS is a way of distributing cable television signals via microwave link from a single transmission point to multiple receiving points.

Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service. Also called wireless cable. A point-to-multipoint wireless technology.

Often referred to as 'wireless cable' as it is a wireless system used to distribute cable television and other broadband signals to multiple users by way of a single transmitter.

A technique for supplying broadband access via a point-to-point microwave digital system. It operates in the 2GHz to 3GHz band and can cover a fairly large area (approximately 30 miles [48 kilometers]). It provides great capacity in that it enables 150 channels. Also called wireless cable.
