 E-band
▐ E-band (also known as millimetre wave) has
a relative low air attenuation, almost equal
microwave 38GHz. This typically results in a
Gigabit link reach, up to 3 km for carrier-
grade availability.

▐ The microwave spectrum for short urban

links (26/32/38GHz) is becoming
increasingly congested. E-band (70-80GHz)
provides a new licensed spectrum, ready to
be used for high capacity links.
