Super WiFi unleashed in US

The Federal Communications Commission of America has announced it will unlock a new 'super-fast' technology called 'Super WiFi', reports Silicon Republic.

The commission is to free up vacant airwaves between TV channels known as 'white spaces' to unleash a host of new technologies and, according to the company, a “myriad other diverse applications” - one of these being Super WiFi.

Super WiFi is said to enable wireless Internet to travel greater distances by using lower-frequency white spaces found between TV channel frequencies.

Victorian businesses will have the opportunity to increase their competitiveness by using small technologies in their products, processes or services, thanks to a $6.5 million Brumby Labor Government programme, says Gov Monitor.
