TV white spaces
TV white spaces refer to the unused portions of the radio frequency spectrum between licensed television broadcast channels. After some channels are assigned for TV signals, certain gaps remain unused—these are the white spaces. These gaps can be harnessed to provide wireless internet and communication services, especially in rural or underserved areas. Using specialized devices, these spaces can deliver broadband connectivity without interfering with existing TV broadcasts. Effectively managing and using TV white spaces optimizes spectrum use, increasing available resources for wireless data transmission while maintaining TV broadcast quality.
