The 480-600 is in the Ultra High Frequency space noted as UHF, which runs from 300MHz to 3000MHz This is within the Very High Frequency (VHF) space, which actually starts at 49MHz and includes usage for television stations – those things that came before Netflix. Specifically, there are three areas of the frequency spectrum to use:
There’s no fear about finding new space, no running for two tin cans and a piece of string. And after 2020, we can’t use that space anyway. Can that be used? Until 2020, yes, though you’ll fight with whitespaces devices in that gap. But, there’s a funny little gap of space that wasn’t auctioned off, from 653 to 663MHz, called the duplex gap. Let’s get this out of the way, by 2020 we can no longer use wireless systems in the 600MHz range, specifically from 614MHz to 698MHz. The impending death of the 600MHz range for wireless systems isn’t to be ignore but wireless ranges aside, isn’t it time we look at wireless systems themselves?
