OET Seeks Comment on Adaptrum TV White Spaces Waiver

The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology sought comment Thursday on a proposal by Adaptrum for a test of fixed TV white space devices with antennas higher than current limits in FCC rules. Adaptrum proposed the test in a rural area in northeast Maine near the Canadian border, OET said. OET said it's reviewing the request but would welcome public comment. The Silicon Valley startup has already released two generations of white spaces devices (http://bit.ly/1wrZTfi). Comments are due Nov. 24; replies Dec. 9.
