Wireles Data Spectrum Solutions Offer New Opportunity for Broadcasters

In the face of growing demand for wireless data spectrum, the FCC and other organizations are turning their attention to the UHF as the next option for redistribution. The 700 MHz FCC wireless spectrum auction in 2008 effectively ended operations for UHF channels 52 through 69, leaving broadcasters with nothing to show following years of operations. Instead, companies like Qualcomm and their MediaFLO technology have begun to monetize their purchase of the spectrum rights.

Put Your Spectrum to Work with Rajant

Rajant BreadCrumb® wireless device and InstaMesh® software allow broadcasters to quickly and easily convert spectrum from free TV to paid voice and data usage. Multi-radio BreadCrumb units allow for up to four different radio modules, and with their auto-switching capabilities, they can easily route packets from UHF to 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz and 5.0 GHz.

This allows service providers to route their traffic from user’s devices onto a frequency for wide area transmission, then down to a device connected to the Internet. Plus, Rajant software enables packet tracking so that usage can be billed, allowing for simple, straightforward monetization of available spectrum.
