From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Cable. Here is what it replaced:
LMDS / MMDS served 1998–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
LMDS / MMDS fixed broadband over microwave: rooftop antennas linked to line-of-sight base stations in the 2 GHz (MMDS) or 28/31 GHz (LMDS) bands, but rain fade and line-of-sight limits capped reach. Its job passed to Cable — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
