Startups in the TV White Space domain

While a host of big companies are already involved in various aspects of TV White Space (see a recent survey on TV White Space Cognitive Radio Patent portfolio); a stream of startups are emerging with an eye on the TVWS applications. Brief info on some of them:

1. Spectrum Bridge: Formed in 2007, is leading the field trials for TVWS deployment and is one of the Database Admins assigned by FCC. Focus: database, application software, value added services, and full network deployment

2. Adaptrum: Small Silicon Valley Startup, formed in 2004 with ties with UC Berkeley. Built one of the 1st White Space hardware for FCC approval along with the big players - Microsoft, Philips and Motorola. Focus seems to be hardware implementation but they also mention real-time resource monitoring, automated resource management, and self forming and optimizing networking capability in their company profile.

3. Neul: UK based startup founded in 2010. Aims to use the TV White Space for machine-to-machine communication like smart-grid, asset tracking, vehicular systems, remote health monitoring etc. Team looks impressive, not much impact as yet.

4. Key Bridge Global: A 2001 company which joined the TVWS bandwagon as a database administrator, though the revenue model is unclear for all the database providers. Have created a subsidiary called dsa, with some generic details about TVWS on the website for now.

    Mr. Baid—

    Thank you very much for putting this list together. Carlson Wireless has partnered with Spectrum Bridge, and our RuralConnect IP is poised to be the first-to-market TV white-space device. I’d like to invite you to visit our website at www.carlsonwireless.com; perhaps our white paper on TV white space for rural broadband could be helpful to you as you write your thesis.

    If you’re looking for experts in the TVWS field who can provide you with more information, Carlson CEO Jim Carlson has been widely recognized as an authority on this emerging technology. I would be happy to put you in contact with him if you’re interested.

    Best of luck with your thesis, and thank you again for calling attention to the efforts and accomplishments of our partner Spectrum Bridge.

    -Karol Andersson
