White Space Wireless Ready for New Services

摘要

It is no secret that we are running out of spectrum space for new and/or improved wireless services. The cellular companies are desperate for new spectrum to roll out their Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G networks and add more subscribers. They pay billions of dollars at government auctions for small chunks of new spectrum, but there is just not much left of the "good" spectrum in the 500 MHz to 4 GHz range to acquire. And that's just for cellular. What about other wireless services? One potential solution for all those other services is white space spectrum.
