对农村地区来说，无线是提供负担得起的电信服务的唯一可行的选择。无线宽带普及率增长的一个限制因素是缺乏可用频谱。白色空间宽带使用的是为电视广播保留的频谱带间隙。这些频率提供了巨大的容量，有助于缓解现有无线网络的压力，并由于其良好的传播能力而允许偏远地区的连接。本文介绍了一个评估研究电视白色空间的可用性在马拉维使用负担得起的工具。研究的结论是：1）可以使用低成本设备评估频谱使用情况; 2）马拉维有充足的频谱可用于电视白色空间部署。
For rural areas, wireless is the only viable alternative for providing affordable telecommunications services. One limiting factor to the growth of wireless broadband penetration is the lack of available spectrum. White Spaces broadband uses gaps in spectrum bands that have been reserved for TV broadcasts. These frequencies offer significant capacity to help alleviate pressures on existing wireless networks and allow connectivity in remote areas due to their good propagation capabilities. This paper describes an assessment study on TV White Spaces availability in Malawi using affordable tools. The conclusion of the study is that 1) it is possible to assess the spectrum usage using low cost equipment 2) ample spectrum for TV White Spaces deployment is available in Malawi.
