- w-ll 11y agoI actually worked with Spectrum Bridge and the city on the implementation in Wilmington, North Carolina while in college. At the time it was called 'Whitespace Wifi' and we actually had a handful of services other than public wi-fi. It was good fun.
- ytdht 11y agoDo you know of any plans to expand it further? or was there any substantial problems discovered that could not be solved?
- cmurf 11y agoDoes it work at 45000'? Seems ideal to have one comm system for low and high altitudes, but at least there should be at most two and no gap in coverage.
- ytdht 11y agoI would think so because analog TV over the air was able to travel more then 9 miles, but I don't think that toy drones can go that high, but that will probably change...
- cmurf 11y agoAnalog TV transmitters were using serious wattage, and it was only transmitting. Wifi will have a lot less transmission wattage and it has to have a lot or reception sensitivity and hundreds maybe thousands of clients. So it's an interesting problem.
