While the FCC's removal of geographic restrictions on white space devices will expand broadband access and increase connectivity, it may cause interference issues with wireless microphones, intercoms, and in-ear monitors (IEMs). To prevent this, the FCC has set aside dedicated, unused TV channels for wireless microphones. Organizations can apply to reserve these channels; prohibiting white space devices from operating in the same channels. This new service is currently in place throughout the entire east coast, with the anticipation of a nationwide release. Professional Wireless Systems (PWS) participated in a beta test of this new system, giving feedback to the FCC about the registration website. Drawing on this experience, PWS has developed some tips for navigating the registration process.
