Local infocomm firm deploys new technology for broadband service

Singapore

NETWORK Genetics Pte Ltd, a local infocomm technology provider, has announced the hosting of Singapore's first commercial TV white spaces geolocation database service. The service is required for the operation of TV white spaces (TVWS) technology in Singapore. This marks an important milestone as Singapore is one of the first few countries globally to advance TVWS from pilots to commercial deployment.

White space refers to the unused broadcasting frequencies in the wireless spectrum. TV networks leave gaps between channels within the spectrum for buffering purposes, and this space can be used to deliver broadband Internet services.
