New 802.22 Wi-Fi Technology Allows Wireless Data Over 60 Miles

IEEE, or The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, USA have announced the launch of the next-generation Wi-Fi IEEE 802.22TM that is capable of data transfers at 22 Mbps per channel over a range of a whopping 60 miles. The technology uses the currently existing VHF and UHF television bands to enable data transfer over massive distances without any sort of interference with the existing television broadcast stations. They utilise what are known as ‘white spaces’ between channels to enable high speed data transmission.
