23. Why TV White Space?
• TV Spectrum (300 – 700 MHz)
• Long Distance Coverage (30km*)
• High Penetration
(works indoors, through dense foliage, etc.)
• Non Line of Sight (NLOS)
• 2-way high Speed Connection
(20Mbps/6MHz; 1Gbps/300MHz)
• Scalable
• Lower Power Consumption
• Economical

24. New Proposed Cost (10 GB)
Cost of TVWS Around the World
Mawingu Networks Limited = 100.00 KES/Month (200 MHz)
KES(Kenyan Shilling) /INR (Indian Rupee) = 1.5400
100.00 KES = 64.93 INR
Carlson Wireless Technologies = 60USD/Year (470 to 698 MHz)
1 US Dollar equals = 66.45 Indian Rupee
60USD = 3986.85 INR
Per Month (10GB) = 332.34 INR
