RIDGELAND, Miss.—SIGFX L.L.C. announced field trials of its two-way wireless communications systems are now underway at company headquarters in Ridgeland, Miss.
The network uses vacant spectrum in analog and digital television transmissions to provide personal wireless voice or data services—a plan SIGFX said can help alleviate spectrum shortages and save carrier and customer costs.
“Most households in developing nations cannot afford a cellular phone, or even a wired home telephone,” said Jimmy Rogers, president of SIGFX. “We plan to change that. Our corporate mission is to bring communications to where it does not exist. The fact that we can help alleviate spectrum shortages in the U.S. is an added bonus.”
SIGFX has filed for another experimental license from the FCC hopes to next trial the network in Jackson, Miss.
