There’s various wireless spectrum on the market, but mobile devices can’t make the most of a number of it because it goes towards other uses. There’s a lot of unused spectrum though, and Google desires to free it up.

Google.org, the corporate’s philanthropic arm, is operating with other tech companies to create a database of unused TV white space. This database would allow future devices to tap into spectrum that’s not getting used by another individual. The practice is known as spectrum sharing, and it might allow mobile devices to share the air waves with other devices and services in this particular band.

Here’s how Google explains it:

Spectrum is a globally finite resource, which makes it crucial that or not it’s allocated and shared as effectively as possible. The demand for spectrum is growing, and more people and devices need spectrum within the same place. Having an area where people can see what spectrum is obtainable allows people to share, which enables more technology and devices to glue using an increasingly busy medium. This helps avoid conflict between devices using an analogous band.

As portion of its bid to become a database administrator of this TV white space, Google has partnered with the FCC to create a map of all of the available TV White Space within the U.S. The corporate is inviting multiple stakeholders to “test and supply feedback at the database.”
