Daniel in Greenbelt, MD asks:
I’ve heard a few rumblings about Super Wi-Fi. How is it different from regular Wi-Fi and when will we get access to it?
Super Wi-Fi is what the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) calls a proposal it plans to use for the creation of longer-distance wireless internet. It’s a new kind of wireless network that runs on unused and underused white spaces that exist between television channel frequencies.
These lower frequencies allow the signal to travel further (400 meters of coverage compared vs. 100 meters with traditional Wi-Fi) and penetrate walls better than the higher radio frequencies used by regular Wi-Fi.
This development could be the solution for users in rural areas and other dead spots where broadband wireless isn’t available. If these areas can access television signals, Super Wi-Fi can deliver high-speed Internet to them.
This new technology is being tested in the US and around the world and if all goes well, we should start seeing widespread access to it in the next year or so.
