5.0) WHAT IS THE RANGE OF WIRELESS CABLE?

Wireless cable systems optimally can get a range of up to 25-30
miles. This depends largely on the terrain, transmitting power,
both the transmitting and receiving equipment, and many other
factors. In order to receive the signal, the transmitting and
receiving antennas must be line-of-site.

Because of its low startup costs, and the ability to reach places
that cannot be served by traditional cable, MMDS may be feasible
in certain rural areas.

A range of 75 to 90 miles could be accomplished if a new digital
compression system is used. (See question 4.1)
