1. A system for enabling signal penetration into a building, comprising:
- first circuitry, located on an outside of the building, for receiving millimeter wave signals and converting the millimeter wave signals into a format that overcomes losses caused by penetrating into an interior of the building over a wireless communications link, wherein the first circuitry further comprises;
at least one power amplifier for amplifying the received millimeter wave signals to a level that counteracts losses occurring when the millimeter wave signals are transmitted from the outside of the building to the interior of the building; and
second circuitry, located on the interior of the building and communicatively linked with the first circuitry via the wireless communications link, for receiving the millimeter wave signals in the format that overcomes the losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building and converting the millimeter wave signals in the format to a second format for transmission to the wireless devices within the building.

Abstract
A system for enabling signal penetration into a building includes first circuitry, located on an outside of the building, that receives millimeter wave signals and converting the millimeter wave signals into a format that penetrates into an interior of a building for reception by wireless devices within the building. Second circuitry, located on an inside of the building and communicatively linked with the first circuitry, receives the millimeter wave signals in the format that penetrates into an interior of the building and converts the millimeter wave signals in the format to a second format for transmission to the wireless devices within the building.
