Neul Releases Iceni, The World's First Ever White Space Chip
While a lot of debate is going on how to utilize white spaces, Neul has already released the first ever white space chip, Iceni. White space is the high quality UHF spectrum that has become available due to the transition of television from analog to digital.
The best part about this license exempt white space is that it can help to reduce the communication network cost dramatically. Iceni is able to operate over the entire TV white space frequency range from 470MHz to 790MHz. It supports both 6MHz and 8MHz channel bandwidths. It sports digital modulation schemes along with error correction methods. It can be set up according to data rate and range depending upon the requirements of a particular application. It also has encryption mechanism to ensure secure data transfer.

Different organizations have proposed to use these white spaces to develop a free-to-access super Wi-Fi. Well, of course, the proposal sounds too realistic, but US government is thinking about using the space to provide cheaper broadband. Neul has roped in some big players including ARM, CSR etc. and they are testing citywide sensor networks in Cambridge.
