Neul Introduces Production of White Space Radio System
Type: News

Neul, a company offering products and services for the TV white space spectrum, announced the launch of NeulNET.

According to a release, NeulNET is a production wireless radio system that is designed to use free white space spectrum, delivering wireless connections over long distances. NeulNET promises to revolutionise machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, local broadband delivery, smart meter communications and the 'internet of everything'. The NeulNET system is available to order now.
White space radio takes advantage of unused TV channels as we switch from analogue TV to digital TV. Signals in these frequencies can travel long distances and penetrate walls. This makes white space radio ideal for long-range applications that require wide- area connectivity.

There is up to 150MHz of white space spectrum available. For comparison, typical nationwide 3G networks operate with a mere 30MHz of spectrum, and while 3G spectrum costs money, white space spectrum will be available free of charge. To use white space systems must meet very stringent technical specifications to prevent interference with television equipment and wireless microphones.

"For many M2M applications, modems using cellular (2G & 3G) technology are too expensive and/or consume way too much power," said Allen Nogee, Research Director at In-Stat, and a keen observer of M2M and white space trends. "Neul's very novel M2M solution, using available white space spectrum, is a perfect solution for those applications requiring a low-cost, ultra-reliable connection that consumes very little power and supports very high device densities and capacities."

"Neul aims to unite parties interested in white space by presenting compelling technology, an industry standard, and a vision of how the white space spectrum can best be used. This industry needs a new holistic approach. Given the enormous technical and business acumen of the team, I see a bright future ahead for white space and for Neul," added Nogee.
