The document discusses millimeter wave (mmWave) technology and its role in emerging 5G applications. It describes Blu-Wireless Technology's products and services, including system IP for gigabit mmWave communications licensed to semiconductor companies. It outlines Blu-Wireless' technology roadmap, including deploying the first volume license of their 1Gbps mesh technology in late 2017. The document also discusses how mmWave can enable multi-Gbps wireless broadband and backhaul networks to support 5G, and highlights a mmWave test bed in Bristol demonstrating Gbps speeds over 137m.
