Ofcom has announced today how “white space technology”, the new form of wireless communication, will work.
An earlier consultation explored the potential of the technology, which could be used for a wide range of applications such as linking up different devices and, vitally to the tech industry and to the people living there, enhanced broadband access in rural areas.
“White spaces” is the unused spectrum between channels used for TV and wireless signals, and use lower frequencies than have traditionally been reserved for TV – they travel further and more easily through walls, which is music to my ears (living rurally and in a 35 ton steel construction.

Halima Amin, Waves PR's new intern
