IEEE Approves 802.22 Standard (aka Super Wi-Fi)

Last September, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formalized a set
of technical rules for the use of unused broadcast spectrum between TV
frequencies (also known as “white space”), paving the way for what is being
dubbed Super Wi-Fi. However, one final formality still remained: the
finalization of the new wireless standard.

Now that, too, is out of the way. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) has published the IEEE 802.22 standard, more popularly known as
Super Wi-Fi, for Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRANs).
