Allow Super Wi-Fi’ using old TV spectrum

Additional Information

Everyone in Britain could get free ‘Super Wi-Fi’ using old TV spectrum if the Government allows the use of old TV spectrum instead of selling it off to private companies.

The new ‘Super Wi-Fi’ would travel through walls far more effectively than current Wi-Fi systems and has a range 100 times greater than current Wi-Fi routers.

Fast connections could be made available to the public for free, according to researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

The new technology would use the ‘white space’ between TV channels, which offers data speeds similar to current 4G technology, and has a range of several miles.

‘Implementation of our approach would have far-reaching consequences. Individuals, institutions, and companies would be far less dependent on expensive mobile communications networks in conducting their digital communication. This would also be of great economic benefit,’ said Arnd Weber of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
