Microsoft carves up Wi-Fi into White Spaces
On The Register Bill Ray reports that Microsoft have proposed running Wi-Fi in the 'white spaces' between TV channels.
The proposal, termed Wi-Fi Narrow Channel (Wi-Fi NC), means reusing lots of Wi-Fi technology. But unlike those who want to just squeeze the existing wireless networking protocol into a smaller space, the Microsoft team wants to slice up the signal into chunks, and then feed those chunks through separate channels.
The system would operate in the UHF TV band and because of the lower frequency should be able to better penetrate walls.
