Call to utilise the unused “Super Wi-Fi” that sits between TV channels
The Wireless Access Providers’ Association (WAPA) recently called upon the South Africa’s Ministry of Communication to address ‘white space’ spectrum allocation as a means to provide greater social development of ICT infrastructure in South Africa - to urgently address the spectrum efficiency, spectrum recovery and smarter spectrum policies through the provision of new spectrum to wireless access providers in the country; according to WAPA, white space is considered prime spectrum for offering wireless broadband services because it can travel long distances and have far better penetration rates - they define this as being like Super Wi-Fi.
