The Future of White Space Communications
Thursday, 1 December
Do you need to understand what is going on in the development and deployment of TV Band Devices? Do you need to know what market opportunities are emerging for White Space Communications technologies? Do you understand how to access funding opportunities that may be available to you?
If these topics are important to you then you should plan to attend the Wireless Innovation Forum Workshop on White Space Communications. This one-day intensive workshop will provide product managers, technology managers and researchers with a unique opportunity explore the white space market, network customers and partners, and gain the knowledge and tools you need to make the best possible decisions in defining your R&D investments. The workshop is broken into multiple sessions as follows:

Lunch, including "Plug Fest" (held in Independence A&B):
In this first of its kind event, multiple leaders in the TV White Space ecosystem will showcase the interoperability of their products and technologies. Join us in the exhibition hall to explore how real products from database administrators, TV band device manufacturers, operators and others are working together to transform dynamic spectrum access systems from concept to reality.
13:50 Session 6E
Panel: TVWS Commercial Opportunities
With regulations mostly settled and the required technologies fairly well understood, it’s time to turn our attention to the really big questions: how will the White Spaces be used? What applications will dominate? What business models make sense? What does the competitive landscape look like? This panel of experts will examine these issues in detail, and provide their individual forecasts as to barriers, rollout, adoption, and, ultimately, success.
