Being a motivated non-expert. I understand that higher frequencies carry more data, are more line of sight,and are absorbed by smaller conductive bodies - like rain drops AND that lower frequencies carry less data, go through and around buildings and are not as easily absorbed by small conductive bodies. People are also more comfortable with, and have more history with, television signal frequency radiation than cell phone radiation. I understand there is some white space around 54 MHz.
We talked about an Android appliance type location reporting phone that kids could wear laced into their shoes. In the interest of not slighting such a phone, parents could use the same device to find missing children in public places where vision may be obscured. To avoid ad nauseum. I cannot think of a better, more technology (physical characteristics of spectrum and public acceptance of spectrum) matched, use of white space than lisensed appliance spectrum where the appliances use modern signaling and can triangulate off known towers to reliably get position in the interest of reliable location of children by their parents. There has to be enough subscription service to pay for the radios, but first reliably determine and communicate location in these environments. I think that means low frequency spectrum that is licensed. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
