The definitive version is published at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8843428The work compares Wi-Fi and television white space (TVWS) technologies for practical broadband communication links, specifically in rural areas. The paper starts with an overview of advantages and limitations of Wi-Fi and TVWS in terms of practically important parameters including propagation attenuation. The maximum range with the maximum transmit power limits permitted by South African regulations are calculated. 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi has more lenient restrictions on the EIRP and is found to offer longer range, whilst TVWS better handles vegetation.enTV white spacesTVWSWiFiBroadbandComparison of the modelled maximum wireless link distance for TVWS and Wi Fi within South African regulatory constraints: Which technology wins and in which scenarios?Conference PresentationLysko, A.
