## Summary

Maryam Rofougaran, CEO and co-founder of Movandi, discusses the current state and future of 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) networks with Nitin Dahad. She explains that while mmWave offers the capacity needed for fixed wireless access and AR/VR applications, its deployment is hindered by coverage issues, high infrastructure costs, and regulatory hurdles. Rofougaran highlights Movandi's smart repeater technology and low-power chips as solutions to extend range and reduce power consumption, predicting accelerated adoption in dense urban areas by 2024.
