Spectrum Bridge TV White Spaces Solutions
The Spectrum Bridge (SBI) technology for accessing TV White Spaces is part of a complete spectrum access solution: Universal Spectrum Access (USA). The creation of a proprietary TV White Spaces Database, allowing anyone to locate available White Spaces, not only offers the opportunity to provide much needed access to spectrum, but also introduces a new concept in how spectrum can be allocated and accessed automatically.
SBI first demonstrated a Beta version of a TV White Space Database to the FCC in January 2009. By June 2009, SBI demonstrated a complete online TV White Spaces solution, and subsequently deployed what is believed to be the world's first TV White Spaces network solution in Claudville, Virginia in September 2009.
SBI is currently in the process of planning and deploying additional TV White Spaces networks, in areas including California, Florida and West Virginia. Additionally, SBI is enabling solutions for telemedicine, smart grid and broadband, which are controlled and directed by SBI's propriatary TV White Spaces database. These networks are being deployed in partnership with a variety of industry leaders, content providers, members of the White Spaces Database Group and TV White Spaces Radio Developers. SBI is also participating in the development of White Spaces opportunities with several international regulatory bodies.
Providing wireless users with a multitude of alternative spectrum solutions, such as the deployment of White Spaces networks for various applications, results in better utilization of existing bandwidth and enhanced optimization of network performance while increasing the amount of spectrum available.
