  Microsoft, Philips retest 'white spaces' device
Time: 00:26 EST/05:26 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

A group of technology vendors has submitted new test results for a wireless device intended to operate in unused portions of the television spectrum after an identical device malfunctioned in U.S. Federal Communications Commission tests earlier this year.

The new tests showed the wireless device correctly detected TV signals and stayed out of that part of the spectrum 100 percent of the time, according to a filing on behalf of Microsoft and Philips Electronics.

Microsoft and Philips are part of the White Spaces Coalition, a group of tech vendors asking the FCC to allow wireless devices to operate in the so-called white spaces of the television spectrum. The coalition wants the white spaces opened up to give consumers more wireless broadband options.

Television broadcasters have opposed the White Spaces Coalition, saying it's too likely that wireless devices will interfere with TV signals.
