compete with multiple wireless
devices to send large volumes of
data.
Furthermore, mmWave
sys-
tems and their narrow beams
offer more flexible connection
options.
For instance, oftentimes a de-
ployment scenario needs mul-
tiple connections in a star topol-
ogy.
Emergency response networks
can be set up in a relatively short
time using point to multipoint
systems with built-in “beam
steering,”
which greatly reduces
the engineering requirements
as the Terminal Unit in a field
hospital, for instance, only needs
to be pointed in the general di-
rection of the Base Unit.
A great example of establishing
a Gigabit wireless access net-
work in emergency COVID-19
conditions comes from Skywire

business division of Xchange
