MVDS are useful in "areas where traditional cable infrastructure is limited or absent." [1]
MVDS currently is a part of broader MWS (Multimedia Wireless System) standards. In the European Union MWS works in 10.7–13.5 and 40.5–43.5 GHz frequency bands.
Research for 42 GHz frequency has been done under the European Commission EMBRACE (Efficient Millimetre Broadband Radio Access for Convergence and Evolution) initiative.
