These studies allowed apprehension of the complexity of the phenomena of propagation in the millimeter bands. Thanks to the outdoor studies, prediction models for the losses due to the hydrometeors were developed in order to offer reliable support for transmission in the millimeter band for high data rates proximity links. The characterisation and the modelling of the indoor propagation channel at 60 GHz allow use of simulating systems working at data rates higher than 100 Mb/s.

Thanks to the systems working in the millimeter bands, the expectation of doubling or even tripling the data rates of the current systems offer new possibilities of services in many fields (multimedia, professional, medical, video) for communicating objects.
