Enabling rural broadband via TV “white space”
Summary. HopScotch, a rural broadband testbed in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, uses TV white space frequencies alongside 5 GHz bands to deliver high-speed internet across remote areas with fewer base stations and lower power consumption. This approach reduces infrastructure costs and energy use while maintaining strong coverage and data rates.
