Connectivity has become a necessity for the efficient running of utilities and for providing broadband to people. Television Whitespace connectivity enabled by CSIR-developed technology can provide 24 Mbps speeds, distances in excess of 10 km; offers excellent propagation properties with a considerable tree/vegetation penetration, and is even able to handle partial non-line-of-sight conditions. The talk will summarise CSIR experiences with Television Whitespace, explain how to start with it, and overview the associated business opportunities.
