TV White Space & Rural Broadband
Reusing unused TV spectrum for long-range, cost-effective connectivity.
Licensed-exempt use of vacant UHF/VHF TV channels (54–698 MHz) combined with geo-location databases to avoid interference. Superior propagation characteristics enable wide coverage in rural areas, indigenous territories, and developing regions where fiber and cellular are economically unviable.
