Small cell provider ip.access has joined Microsoft’s on-going Project Belgrade, which is using the City of Cambridge UK as a testbed to demonstrate that TV White Space (TVWS) technology can be used to connect residential homes to affordable WiFi style wireless broadband services.

The technology has only been around for a few short years and remains unique due to the way it harnesses the spectrum gaps that exist between television channels (470-790MHz), which can deliver extremely good coverage. Gaps like this are normally intended to help reduce the risk of interference between channels but by adopting a dynamic database (automatically adjusts for changes in TV spectrum assignments) they can also be used to deliver data.

Interesting technology. I wonder sometimes when these new tests and trials will actually go in to the market. It feels like the tech industry likes its vanity projects imho.
