-
- NOTE: Most of this information is taken from FCC Public Notices along with
- information sent to me by both the FCC and the Wireless Cable Association
- (WCA). Items marked with three plus signs (+++) have been added or changed
- since the last posting.

-
- ABBREVIATIONS USED:
-
- MMDS - Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service. Two sets of four
- channels each. Also, type of service known as "Wireless Cable".
- MDS - Multipoint Distribution Service. Two channels that are similar to
- MMDS. May be used in a wireless cable system.
- ITFS - Instructional Television Fixed Service. Channels that must have a
- minimum of 5 hours per week of educational programming. May be
- leased for wireless cable usage.
- OFS - Private Operational-Fixed Microwave Service. Three channels that
- may be used for a wireless cable system.
-
- Q. WHAT IS WIRELESS CABLE?
- A. Wireless cable is a name given to a service that is called Multichannel
- Multipoint Distribution Service (or MMDS). It is a new type of cable
- television system that offers its subscribers a mix of broadcast and
- satellite cable channels. Wireless cable uses Super High Frequency
- ("SHF") channels to transmit satellite cable programming over-the-air
- instead of through overhead or underground wires.
-
- Q. HOW DOES IT WORK?
- A. Scrambled satellite cable programming is received at a central location
- where it is processed and fed into special transmitters. The SHF
- transmitters distribute the programming throughout the coverage area,
- usually over a 25-mile radius. The signals are received by special
- antennas installed on subscribers' roofs, combined with the existing VHF
- and UHF channels, and distributed within the home or building through
- coaxial cable into a channel program selector located near the
- television set...just like traditional cable television.
-
- Q. WHAT ARE SUPER HIGH FREQUENCIES?
- A. Years ago, there was only one television broadcast band authorized by
- the FCC called VHF or Very High Frequency. The UHF (Ultra High
- Frequency) band was authorized in the 1950's and recently the FCC
- authorized commercial usage for up to 33 television channels in the SHF
- or Super High Frequency band. Individual SHF frequencies are known as
- MDS, MMDS, ITFS and OFS. Wireless cable uses as many of these
- frequencies as are available in a market to bring subscribers the best
- in cable television programming, including blockbuster movies, sports,
- music videos, news and information services.
-
- Q. WHAT FREQUENCIES ARE USED?
- A. Frequency num. of type of channel
- Range channels service groups
- ------------------------- -------- ------- -----------------
- 2,150 - 2,162 MHz 2 MDS 1,2,2(A)
- 2,500 - 2,596 MHz 16 ITFS ABC&D
- 2,596 - 2,644 MHz 8 MMDS E&F
- 2,644 - 2,686 MHz 4 ITFS G
- " - " 3 OFS H
- 2,686 - 2,689.875 MHz 31* MMDS Response Channels
-
- * - Each channel's bandwidth is 125 KHz
-
- Q. IS WIRELESS CABLE'S CHANNEL CAPACITY COMPARABLE TO TRADITIONAL CABLE?
- A. Yes! The average channel capacity of U.S. cable systems is just over 30
- channels. When fully implemented, wireless cable operations may have as
- +++ many as 33 channels of broadcast and cable programming. Over 100
- +++ channels could be available if digital bandwidth compression is used.
- This, of course, depends on which channels are already used in your
- area. Furthermore, 20 of the channels are borrowed from ITFS services
- and are earmarked for educational use. This means there is a
- requirement to program 5 hours per week per channel of educational
- material.
-
- Q. WHAT EQUIPMENT IS IN THE SUBSCRIBER'S HOME?
- A. Each household subscribing to the service has a small antenna on its
- roof (about the size of an open newspaper) and a downconverter inside.
- The downconverter usually includes an addressable decoder and a VHF/UHF
- tuner built in. This gives it the ability to tune in broadcast channels
- without having to use up valuable MMDS channels. It also allows
- pay-per-view services and simplifies channel blocking and premium
- channel activation/deactivation.
-
- Q. WHAT CHANNELS CAN BE SENT?
- A. Wireless cable systems can carry any of the typical cable channels. In
- the past, some channels refused to let wireless cable systems carry
- their signals. However, the cable re-regulation bill (S.12) made
- channels that are available to cable companies also available to
- wireless cable. It can also send the 'SuperGuide' data along with
- similar data services.
