Bluetooth SIG Adopts UWB Solution, WiMedia Alliance
Posted by Jon Westfall in "NEWS" @ 01:00 PM
"The organizations that controls the Bluetooth standard today announced the next version of Bluetooth will see some big changes. In order to keep up with increased bandwidth requirements, the next version of Bluetooth will adopt the ultra-wideband (UWB) protocol, which uses multiband OFDM technology to transmit at speeds up to 100 Mbps over distances of 3 meters (about 10 feet)."
Bluetooth is answering the need for faster connection in small physical locations by adopting the ultra-wideband protocol. The question is - will this entice manufacturers to look to Bluetooth as a viable and value-adding feature for their products?
