http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.pdf I'm not sure what exactly this card's target is. It would cover channels 8 - 13, but then also a bunch of 2-way and other services. There must be an international band that covers 180 - 280. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

The google map that Brian Webster made had channels 20 - 52 on it. So, is 1-8 whitespaces? And how do I find out if I can use it in my area. I'd love to get my hands on one of those cards and start testing, it I would be able to use it in my area. Brian Rohrbacher Mike Hammett wrote:

Sorry, it's not a "White Spaces" card. I expect White Spaces equipment to be ready in possibly 18 to 24 months. Brian Rohrbacher wrote: The google map that Brian Webster made had channels 20 - 52 on it. So, is 1-8 whitespaces? And how do I find out if I can use it in my area. I'd love to

Brian, Yes; it is a card with a frequency range that overlaps some of the existing VHF television channel frequencies. In the future, in some geographic areas some of these channels, if unused for Television Broadcasting could be available for Fixed broadband wireless use under the TV White

Brian, Like Jack says, this is nothing like a whitespaces device. You can download the first draft of the specifications at the FCC, I think it is about 120 pages. The devices are supposed to have a sensing radio to detect existing tv channels, in addition to detecting wireless microphones,

There are 2 MHz of spectrum in the 220 MHz band able to be licensed for private land mobile use in the US using very narrow channels. I think they are targeting remote meter reading markets with this radio not broadband. The frequency range is also probably useable in other bands outside the US.
