LMDS AIReach AB9400 system in both point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint modes to support Nextlink's high-speed Internet
access and Ethernet services.

XO Communications today launched broadband wireless services in
Phoenix, bringing its NextLink wireless footprint to 10 major cities.
XO will initially deploy in downtown Phoenix but plans its base
station sites to cover the entire Phoenix metropolitan area including
Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe.
XO has Local Multipoint Distribution System licenses in 75 markets—all
left over from when the former NextLink tried to build a nationwide
first generation broadband wireless access system for businesses. Like
all of the initial BWA systems, the NextLink network never got off the
ground, and when the company changed its name to XO it shelved the
licenses, only to revive them again last year as an alternative to
fiber and copper access in its markets.
XO has now launched wireless service in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas,
Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, San Diego, Tampa and Washington, D.C.
(They don't know where service is available, but it's launched :)
