Ultra-Wide Band And Bluetooth Working Together

Posted by Zonk on from the its-so-nice-to-see-protocols-getting-along dept.

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."

    Rarely do you find such enlightened and insightful posts anywhere on the Internet, let alone Slashdot. Such beautiful expression of the English language and enough depth to engulf even the most brilliant of minds.

    Sir, I'm in awe!
