Gigabit Wireless

Gigabit speeds are achieved with complex modulations of the signal (for example QAM) or signals spanning many frequencies. When a signal spans many frequencies, physicists refer that a wide Bandwidth signal. In the communication industry, many WISPs and cell phone companies deploy wireless RF antennas to backhaul core networks, connect businesses, and even individual residential homes.[1][2]

Common frequencies and bands for Gigabit Speeds

For more detail on indoor protocols and information, see the see Wireless Gigabit Alliance page. In general, indoor protocols follow a cross-vendor standard and communicate in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and (soon) 60 GHz bands.

The outdoor carrier link protocols vary widely and are not compatible across vendors (and often models from the same vendor).

Examples of frequency and bandwidths at and approaching gigabit wireless
Category Frequency Band size (MHz) Modulations Full Duplex capacity (Mbit/s) Distance References
Indoor Consumer Grade AC 5 GHz 80 IEEE_802.11ac ~200 Same room [3]
Outdoor PtP AC 5 GHz 80 IEEE_802.11ac 290 20km [4]
Unlicensed carrier grade 24 GHz 100 256 QAM 1000 15km [5]
Licensed modern carrier grade 11 GHz 100 256 QAM 750 100km [6]
Carrier grade V-Band 60 GHz 500 64 QAM 500 - 1000 1km - 2km [7] [8]
Carrier grade E-Band 80 GHz 500 64 QAM 1000 10km [9] [10]

Note: the higher bandwidth devices require a less complex modulation to achieve high speeds.
