WiFi that goes six miles. You get your own network

So-called ‘white space’ includes the unused frequencies in the TV spectrum – between 470MHz and 790MHz – which are left empty to avoid broadcasts leaking into one and other. With wavelengths much lower than regular WiFi, these frequencies are able to travel further and penetrate much more deeply into buildings, raising the possibility of regional broadband networks available to thousands of users.    ..... Neul, one of the companies involved in the consortium, has a production-ready system which can deliver up to 16Mbps at a range of 10 km.    Sourced from Daily Mail
