Local multi-point distribution system (LMDS) is a broadband wireless access technology that provides point-to-multipoint microwave connections in the 28-GHz and 31-GHz range. Cable and fiber deployment is often undesirable, impractical, or costly. LMDS provides similar access bandwidths and two-way capability without digging up and repaving city streets, dealing with the hassle of difficult terrain, or the high costs of extensive build-up before a commercial service could be launched. .
