A communication system providing wireless communication among wireless
users through a number of cellular base stations. The system includes a
connecting station with a millimeter wave wireless transceiver in
communication with a fiber optic or high-speed cable communication
network. The transceiver is adapted to communicate at millimeter wave
frequencies higher than 60 GHz with another millimeter wave transceiver
at one of the cellular base stations. Each of the base stations serves a
separate communication cell. Each base station is equipped with a low
frequency wireless transceiver for communicating with the wireless users
within the cell at a radio frequency lower than 6 GHz and a millimeter
wave wireless transceiver operating at a millimeter wave frequency higher
than 60 GHz for communicating with another millimeter wave transceiver at
another base stations or a millimeter wave transceiver at said at the
connecting station. The base stations also are equipped with data
transfer means for transferring data communicated through the low
frequency transceiver to the millimeter wave wireless transceiver and for
transferring data communicated through the millimeter wave wireless
transceiver to the low frequency wireless transceiver. In preferred
embodiments the system a part of a telephone system, an Internet system
or a computer network.
