FCC To Public: Test White Spaces Database

Broadcast Law Blog | by TVNewsCheck

The FCC announced public testing of a new TV white spaces database system. Starting Sept. 19, the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology will open a 45-day window to allow the public to try out the TV Band Database developed by one of the potential TV white spaces database managers. If approved, the database will be used by white space devices to find available frequencies and avoid interfering with authorized services and registered facilities.
