The key words for the future telecommunications are personalization, multi-media services and high accessibility to the network. These trends naturally lead to radio media application to access links. In this sense, this paper proposes an advanced wireless access system with a capacity supporting broadband video and data services.Concept of the system can be defined as a new radiocommunication category with advantages of both fixed and mobile systems.The system is designed to transport ATM-based signals using SHF (or EHF) bands to wireless terminals, interconnected with optical fibers at the network side. The basic system configuration is presented as well as examples of system parameters.For radio aspects the maximum service coverages of the radio base stations are calculated based on availability consideration. Preferred frequency bands for actual operation are also discussed.
