Why White Spaces Are Hot.
Because of its lower frequency, white spaces can offer much broader reach and better penetration through walls than the current spectrum used for Wi-Fi. For example, a Super Wi-Fi network could cover 16 times more area than a traditional Wi-Fi hot spot.
White spaces also offer the promise of faster speeds, up to 100 megabits per second. That can be used for end users or to connect local Wi-Fi hotspots.
The added range and performance could help connect rural communities, allow schools to light up entire campuses, help service providers relieve burdened cellular networks and could help with things like in-home video streaming and smart meter monitoring.
White spaces could trigger a new wave of innovation for device makers and application developers. A white spaces study commissioned by Microsoft found that the use of white spaces could add $3.9 to $7.3 billion in economic activity a year.
[b]Where You Can Find White Spaces Networks.
There have been been several tests of white spaces including: connecting a rural school in Claudeville, Va., a low-cost broadband and water sensing project in Wilmington, N.C. and a test at Rice University where researchers are building devices that can switch between white spaces and traditional Wi-Fi.
