Space Data maps broadband signals from altitude
Written by Anonymous on 12:07 AMSpace Data Corp. has released a product to detect the location of wireless broadband signals are by using high-altitude balloons.
The Chandler company said it is using its ScanSite technology to identify wireless signals on the ground from balloons flying from 12 to 18 miles high.
The company sees it as a way to speed up identification of areas that need broadband services, particularly as the U.S. government is expected to roll out $7 billion effort to upgrade the nation’s broadband infrastructure in rural areas.
“Increasing broadband penetration and adoption in unserved and underserved areas is a top national priority, but, frankly, until now there has not been a way to accurately determine wireless spectrum usage,” said Jerry Knoblach, Space Data’s chairman and CEO.
Space Data said it can provide an alternative with more accurate information than the plan to use mobile vans with antennas to root out the signals.
