Digital Trends – As mentioned within a press release earlier today, the first commercial âSuper Wi-Fiâ network was launched in Wilmington, North Carolina. Called the âfirst FCC-approved smart cityâ, the city is utilizing the white space spectrum located between TV channels to provide wireless access across a public portion of Hugh MacRae park. Due to the lower frequency band, these Wi-Fi signals can travel through varied terrain including buildings and trees. This allows public organizations to setup equipment without the need for line-of-sight. However, speeds are reduced to 10 to 15 Mbps due to the changing landscape. While many current devices can access the network when in close range of the network hardware, commercial devices built for white space access are still at least a year away.
