This paper describes and evaluates the first results, from a trial under real conditions, of a wireless cellular interactive network at 42 GHz, for broadband services and digital (MPEG‐2) television, realized in the frame of an European Union program, in the area of Athens. The adopted system architecture and network configuration are described and technical data concerning the development of the interactive services are provided. The performance of the system is also evaluated. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
