Cambridge-based start-up Neul has unveiled a new radio protocol to offer the machine-to-machine and local broadband sectors with all the ability to utilize so-called ‘white space’ between TV transmissions.
Inside the context of telecommunications, white space or spectrum refers to frequencies that have been given to broadcasters, but broadcasters leave a fair amount of spectrum in between signals in order that their transmissions do not interfere with one another.
Shut-down of analogue TV signal increases the amount of accessible white, and radio stations that broadcast with no a license are always ready to use white space.
Thus, Neul has already started production of a radio that is capable of tapping into this white space. The new engineering, called NeulNet, can transmit data at up to 16Mbps features a range of up to 10Km.
Neul has started manufacturing the white space radio, despite the fact that it is not legal to use in any country around the world.
