I suspect it really will play a part in expanding frequency space for mobile phones too. I read something about location-aware radios, which know what frequencies are ok to use in a particular spot because all transmitters that are using those frequencies are sufficiently far away and so you will not cause interference. That was the context in which I have heard this term, smart radios, that use multiple varying bands and even due channel bonding of multiple links in completely different bands to get throughout. This is the kind of research going on. So needs software, complex algorithms to be evaluated and debugged not just testing of code.
It is a much more sophisticated system than DFS say, and that algorithm where you have to just listen for ten minutes or whatever, checking for radar and then you can transmit.
Very interested, in general, not for around here as no TV stations anyway. The one at Dłn Creige or wherever, near Plockton anyway, isn't innline of sight, and there used to be a repeater for it which was put up by someone in the village for all I know, and which I suspect eventually broke.
That is a lot faster btw than the current horrible rf system in the village. I am trying to work out if they are advertising aiming at ISPs? I get that feel, but I am not sure who they are talking to. Good for them.
With all these shared-link systems it would be good if business users especially could buy a ring-fenced slice of bandwidth, a virtual pipe, so they would have a real guarantee of what was actually being sold to them, not finding out that it is slower than dialup one night because three kids are doing torrent uploads or downloads or Andy Murray is in action at Wimbledon.
