What is TV White Space:
Television White space technology works like wi-fi on a bigger scale to provide wireless connectivity across 10 km radius at a speed of upto 16 mbs, by using chunks of airways lying between spectrum kept untouched by broadcasters to avoid interfaces or disturbances between transmission.
The white- Fi technology has already been successfuly implemented in the US and Singapore ans is being tested in Kenya, the Phillippines , South Africa and Tanzania among others. It works on chunks of unused spectrum available in broadcasting brands in the lower frequencies from 200 MHz to 700 MHz.
Accroding to Microsoft, it cost less than Rs 10 Lakhs to install a white space technology router.
For India , the company proposes to make use of as much as 19% of spectrum unused by Doordarshan , the national TV broadcaster , in the sub -GHz brand.
