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 Spaces rules. IF the card is contained inside
FCC-certified equipment and IF the network operator properly deploys
the equipment with an appropriate Internet connection to the (not yet
in existence) FCC-mandated geolocation database, the card might
possibly (although somewhat unlikely) be used legally for TV White
Spaces work. TV White Spaces is going to require an entire equipment
"ecosystem" (hardware, software, antennas and database). This card,
because of its rather narrow frequency range and possible other
technical limitations, won't likely be chosen by manufacturers for
their TVWS equipment.

So, is it a card that operates in some of the white spaces frequency
then?

Sorry, it's not a "White Spaces" card. I expect White Spaces equipment
to be ready in possibly 18 to 24 months.

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.

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.
