Methods and apparatus for a high speed, highly directional, wireless communication system are disclosed. The high speed wireless links ( 16 ) are accomplished using relatively narrow beams (<1°) that allow for virtually unlimited links in any geographic area, and which allow virtually any individual or company to implement fiber-speed links qui ckly and at a very low cost compared to the expense of installing an optical fiber link. Specifically, this new high speed communications service may be carried out at the 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and/or 92-95 GHz frequency bands. The data link is extended inside each building ( 10, 14 ) using internal power lines ( 24 ) and power outlets ( 26 ) to connect a variety of data devices ( 36 ). In an alternative embodiment, a wireless access point ( 34 ) may be connected to a power outlet ( 26 ) to provide a wireless hotspot for wireless data devices ( 36 ).
