Major figures in the Internet economy have high hopes to use TV White Space (TVWS) frequencies to deliver wireless broadband Internet connectivity over long distances and extended areas -- the so-called "Super Wi-Fi" medium.
Beginning in September 2013 and in association with the Gigabit Libraries Network, 91制片厂 BCoE completed a four-month trial of TVWS technology in Durham, N.H., that provided Internet connectivity for two libraries and the 91制片厂 InterOperability Laboratory (IOL), a nationally known technology testing facility.
Results of the trial, along with a broader description of TVWS origins, technology foundation and exclusive financial models for TVWS deployment are published in our white paper: 鈥淭VWS Phase 1 Report鈥 It explores early potential of TVWS spectrum as a medium for broadband Internet delivery. In addition the article 鈥淚mplementing TVWS network: suggested approaches鈥 provides some important 鈥渓essons learned鈥 from the Phase 1 deployment and hopefully can provide guidance to an organization deploying a TVWS based network.
