Wireless microphones were operating in spectrum occupied by television stations but didn't interfere with broadcasts during recent tests of new wireless broadband devices in Maryland, says a group pushing for government approval of the new devices.

The tests showing wireless microphone use of television spectrum suggest that new wireless broadband devices won't interfere with TV signals, said representatives of the White Spaces Coalition, a group of tech vendors.
