Public safety has had to compete with commercial and other users of spectrum for a scarce resource, and increasing interference has been caused by heavy spectrum usage.
Arraycomm's approach allows the base station to constantly adapt the characteristics of the signal as the user moves around, keeping it focused, increasing spectrum efficiency and reducing interference from all the other signals permeating the air.
The pilot will test the inter-operation of white spaces devices, white space databases and the processes to mitigate against causing any undue interference to current spectrum users.

This will help ensure that there is no undue interference with the existing spectrum users.

Developed for secure government communications, Spitfire uses a broad frequency spectrum virtually immune to eavesdropping or interference.
For now, though, it still has a few additional hurdles to overcome, namely consumer perception (the NHTSA estimates self-driving cars could reduce crashes by 80 percent) and possible WiFi interference from the whitespace spectrum freed up by the FCC.
Now, however, thanks to the dramatic decline in the cost of computer power, wireless devices are far cleverer, meaning that they can use spectrum more efficiently and are more tolerant of interference.
According to the cognocenti the GPS interference associated with the L-band spectrum can easily be rectified using available technology.
Both groups refuse to entertain the very real possibilities of spectrum exhaustion, regulatory kill switches, and crushing interference with our technological wonderland.

The company notes that the WCS spectrum was first auctioned in 1997, but has not been utilized for mobile Internet usage due to technical rules designed to avoid possible interference to satellite radio users in adjacent spectrum bands.
The WCS spectrum, on the other hand, has been dogged by interference issues with nearby satellite signals owned by Sirius XM, making it near impossible to get any kind of wireless broadband to work on those frequencies.

That kind of interference is only going to get worse because Wi-Fi is an unlicensed spectrum technology.

The FCC asked us to address the interference issues and some contention issues as related to people who had claims to the spectrum.
The company also recently resolved potential interference concerns with XM Sirius satellite radio that have kept it from making use of additional spectrum it held in the WCS band.
