We have received many quest ions on this topic: When will SECRRA be dissolved? How will this affect my institution/agency? What will happen to the Electronic Campus?

White Space Technology for Wireless Broadband
The world’s first commercial white space network was launched in Wilmington, NC, in 2012. Wilmington was chosen because it was the first US city to shift from analog to digital, allowing the city to take advantage of the unused analog spectrum for wireless transmission of the Internet in parks, county buildings, and emergency services.
