Intel Demonstrates 220Mbps Variant of UWB

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the look-ma-no-wires dept.

MattyIce writes "InfoWorld has a story about a yet to be approved standard for a high-speed, short distance communications standard. Last year, Intel demonstrated 100MBPS speeds but they have bumped the speed up to 220MBPS this time." Fast stuff, but I imagine it'll be a long time before it comes to market. I haven't even upgraded my wireless network to 802.11g yet!

    I was all excited when I saw the MBPS. Now I'm only 1/8 as excited.
