FCC Plans White Space Device Field Tests

Starting July 14, the Federal Communications Commission is launching field tests of "prototype" white-spaces devices -- laptops and smart radios that will share the spectrum with TV broadcasters if the FCC concludes that they do not interfere with digital-TV reception. The FCC has been testing the devices in its labs but it said Thursday that it was ready to start field-testing. The sites will be in suburban Maryland, where the FCC's test lab is also located, as well as in Washington (DC) and will include rural, residential and urban areas, as well as an airport and a sports and entertainment venue, like a theater.
