Millimeter wave describes very short radio waves with wavelengths of a few millimeters, used to carry large amounts of data or to create high-resolution radar and imaging. For investors, millimeter-wave technology matters because it enables faster wireless networks, new types of sensors and communication equipment, and often requires new infrastructure, spectrum rights, and regulatory approvals—factors that can drive demand, costs, and competitive advantage in telecom, hardware, and defense markets.
