Ultra-Wide Band And Bluetooth Working Together

judgecorp writes "This week the Bluetooth people adopted UWB as a future fast connection. What not many people have spotted is - the big winner in this could be UWB.. Sure, Bluetooth is a slow protocol for headsets, and UWB is, potentially, much much more. But Bluetooth is established. It's in phones and regulators understand it. If Bluetooth likes UWB, that could really be a major factor to convince the people that are blocking UWB - operators and regulators outside the US - that UWB is safe to use."

UWB has been the latest buzz for a while. Reminded me when I, Cringely was all over it making it out to be the next big thing. That was in 2002 though. Time will tell....
