1. A wireless transmitter comprising:
- a transmitter radio configured to work in the millimeter wave frequency band using a directional antenna;
a bidirectional radio configured to work in a frequency range different from said transmitter radio and use an omnidirectional antenna; and
circuitry configured to;
control the transmitter radio to transmit a first control message via the directional antenna, andcontrol an antenna beam of the directional antenna based upon a second control message corresponding to the first control message received by the omnidirectional antenna.
