Quoting from a slightly older Fierce Wireless article that delves into some of the details of Starry's fixed wireless millimeter spectrum play as outlined by CEO Chet Kanojia:
"[Cellular carriers] have more money than God, so I'm not sure that's a good area for us anyways." Then you start looking at spectrum at 24 GHz and above, and there are plenty of challenges, but the 37 GHz range might be the sweet spot for Starry.
To be clear, "we're really smart people, but we're not that good," he said. "We took a tremendous short cut, which we think is the right strategic short cut." The company didn't develop its own radios; it's using 802.11ac MIMO radios off the shelf, having figured out a way to convert them to a higher frequency band without causing distortion, he said.
