UWB to Have a Profound Impact on Future Mobile Device Communications

Wireless USB, based on the WiMedia Alliance's Ultrawideband (uwb) common radio platform which is promoted by USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), is slowly garnering attention from mobile device manufacturers as it has exhibited efficient power consumption. It is capable of transmitting data up to 480 Mbps at distances up to 3 meters and 110 Mbps at up to 10 meters. It is gradually being implemented in game controllers, digital cameras, portable media players (PMPs), and laptops. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group has also announced that the next version of Bluetooth would be based on Wimedia's uwb common radio platform.  more
