Results for tag: "TV White Space"

TV White Space (TVWS) is a term used to describe the unused spectrum between television channels. It is a valuable resource for telecommunications and networks, as it can be used to provide wireless broadband services in rural and remote areas. TVWS technology is based on cognitive radio, which allows devices to detect and use the available spectrum without interfering with existing TV broadcasts. This technology is particularly useful for providing internet access in areas where traditional infrastructure is not available or is too expensive to deploy. TVWS technology is becoming increasingly popular as a way to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas. It is also being used to provide wireless backhaul services for mobile networks, as well as for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. Some of the companies in the TVWS market include Microsoft, Google, Nokia, and Adaptrum. Microsoft has developed a TVWS platform called WhiteFi, which is designed to provide wireless broadband services in rural areas. Google has developed a TVWS platform called Spectrum Access System, which is designed to provide wireless backhaul services for mobile networks. Nokia has developed a TVWS platform called TVWS Connect, which is designed to provide M2M communications. Adaptrum has developed a TVWS platform called Adaptrum ACRS, which is designed to provide wireless broadband services in rural areas. Show Less Read more
