It gives detailed informations and news about fabless semiconductor companies that are developing ultrawideband silicon, software and reference design solutions for wireless USB devices. Visit us and get caught up with the wireless USB scene.

If Intel carries through as I believe they will and integrates UWB as a standard feature on its reference designs for laptops and desktops, then UWB will take off. UWB cannot succeed as a dongle/add-on/hub technology. The entire point of the WiMedia Alliance is to develop protocols that will run on a single radio, with that radio designed to be integral to a device (whether peripheral, handheld, or computer).

I have been talking to many UWB chipmakers over the last couple of months, and I no longer worry that UWB devices will reach the marketplace. But it seems likely that integration and full utility with multiple useful standards working on a single radio won’t happen until mid-2007 or later.

I have been following the 802.15.3a WG for a while now and its good to see some UWB products emerging although they are a year late. Although a UWB proponent, I seriously doubt that wireless USB is going to be mass adopted unless future desktops/Laptops come built in with wirelss UWB ports and USB devices also incorporate a UWB chipset. Sure its a little convenient, but with current wireless USB hubs I still need to run cables from my USB devices to the hub.

Tzero is mostly targetting wireless HD and the Gefen HDDMI switch is based on their chipset. Wonder how long before they change focus considering the big CE manufacturers (Sony, panasonic) etc have formed a WirelessHD forum for exactly the same purpose although its in the 60Ghz band. http://www.wirelesshd.org

Suprisingly, none of the chipset manufs are talking about any IP
solutions.
