dc.description.abstract This paper introduces the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) television white space (TVWS) network deployed in Accra, Ghana. The network, which is still work-in-progress, provides Internet connectivity to six Senior High Schools and the GTUC Abeka campus using two sub-networks built using White Space devices from two different manufacturers. After introducing the GTUC TVWS network, the paper then presents the preliminary results as well as few challenges facing the network. The ultimate results of the GTUC TVWS network will be interesting given that the regulator in Ghana, the National Communications Authority (NCA) has proceeded to issue a commercial license to operate on TVWS while the regulations are not finalised. en_US
