University Transforming Unused TV Channels Into Campus Wi-Fi Networks
Good news, students and staff of West Virginia University: Your campus connectivity is about to improve drastically.
WVU is turning unused television spectrum into Wi-Fi networks, the university announced this week. The Wi-Fi networks will operate on spectrum vacated when area TV networks made the digital transition. That move left behind so-called "white spaces," spectrum designated for a particular purpose nationally, like TV — but are unused locally
"The university has partnered with AIR.U, the Advanced Internet Regions consortium, to transform the 'TV white spaces' frequencies left empty when television stations moved to digital broadcasting into much-needed connectivity for students and the surrounding community," reads a university press release about the connectivity plans.
