Spectrum Bridge, the leader in providing spectrum and technology for wireless networking, today announced a relationship with GE Energy to offer a new wireless network solution utilizing the licensed 218-219 MHz (IVDS) band for use in Smart Grid and other mission critical applications.
Using Interactive Video & Data Service (IVDS) spectrum auctioned in 1994, coupled with GE’s MDS SD2 radio, the use of this previously underutilized and unencumbered spectrum can now be used for industrial enterprise markets supporting Smart Grid Automated Metering, SCADA, Water/Wastewater control and Remote Monitoring.
