Abstract
As the technology that has been created for the cold war becomes more generally available the millimeter band will be more accessible. A number of applications can be developed based on the MILSTAR system, BCIS and similar systems. It is possible to develop everything from fixed, to multipoint, to mobile. Applications can be both indoor and outdoor. Areas that are being explored currently are short haul, wireless ATM, wireless cable, wireless local loop and collision avoidance radar.
