Low-cost, energy efficient, high-capacity, scalable, and easy-to-deploy point-to-point wireless links at mm-waves find a variety of applications including data intensive systems (e.g., data centers), interactive kiosks, and many emerging applications requiring data pipelines. Operating above 100GHz enables compact low-footprint system solutions that can multiplex Tb/s aggregate rates for dense deployments; therefore competing with wired solution in many aspects including rate and efficiency, but much more flexible for deployment. The focus is on small-footprint fully integrated solutions, which overcome traditional packaging challenges imposed at >100GHz with commercial and low-cost solutions.
