Traditionally, wireless communication has been limited in its capacity to transport gigabit quantities of data due to bandwidth limitations set by the FCC, making fiber-optics a relevant alternative for communication systems. That all changed, however, with the opening of the 71 to 76 and the 81 the 86 GHz bands — referred to as the “E-Band” range of millimeter wave (MMW) frequencies. This article discusses the advantages that MMW communication systems have over their fiber-optic counterparts.
