Super Wi-Fi allows connecting to Wi-Fi networks from 100 km away

      IEEE 802.22 is a new Wi-Fi standard whose existence was recently confirmed and detailed by IEEE, the organization that administers Wi-Fi standards worldwide. Super Wi-Fi is a new technology that will allow us to access Wi-Fi networks located even 100 km away from our location, but don't imagine that you will be able to do this using one of the products you have available. The new standard must be implemented in the devices available on the market, but this could happen quite soon considering that the standard has been approved by the IEEE.

This new standard for Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRANs) takes advantage of the favorable transmission characteristics of the VHF and UHF TV bands to provide broadband wireless access over a large area up to 100 km from the transmitter. Each WRAN will deliver up to 22 Mbps per channel without interfering with reception of existing TV broadcast stations, using the so-called white spaces between the occupied TV channels. This technology is especially useful for serving less densely populated areas, such as rural areas, and developing countries where most vacant TV channels can be found.

      Super Wi-Fi uses transmission channels available in the past for the transmission of TV stations and through this technology we can transmit data at speeds of up to 22 Mbps without any problem. The transmission power could greatly simplify the work of connecting to the home computer/router and would enormously decongest mobile networks considering that inside a city you will always have the possibility to connect to the home router to had access to the internet.

      It is not known at the moment how long it will take until the big manufacturers of electronic products will adopt the technology, but its implementation on a large scale could prove to be a real "revolution" in the field of data transmission through wireless networks.
