Much like MMDS, but using a different frequency band and carrying up to 49 channels. The receiving antenna is much smaller: a dish six inches across that can fit on a window sill. The signal is less prone to obstruction than MMDS because it is frequency-modulated, like FM radio. But like MMDS, the transmission range is short.
