Intel Promises UWB Products By 2006

Posted by timothy on from the that's-a-long-way-off dept.

prostoalex writes "Ultra WideBand radio is a technology that allows transmitting huge amounts of data over a short distance at very low power. At Intel Developer Forum this week Ben Manny, director of wireless technology development at Intel Research and Development, promised market deployment of UWB-based solutions by 2005-2006. Possible applications of UWB can be discovered in this article that also refers to UWB as 'Bluetooth on steroids'."

    And this is where I would even consider that this technology never be implemented. I read someplace else that airlines may do a blanket ban on all electronic devices if UWB does conflict with airplanes. Imagine how boring those long flights will be now!
