Wireless USB: Future of USB

"Wireless USB (WUSB), a natural extension of USB, makes it easier than ever before to connect peripherals and consumer electronic devices to a host PC. As new consumer electronic products appear on the market, the demand for this type of interface grows. The USB-IF is expected to release a new wireless specification this year.

Wireless USB is based on the ultrawideband (UWB) technology which supports the same 480 Mbps data rate over a distance of two meters (about 6.6 feet). If the speed is lowered to 110 Mbps, UWB will go a longer distance (up to 10 meters or about 30 feet). UWB started in 1960 as military application capable of transferring data up to 480 Mbps over a distance of 20 meters. For home or office environments, this technology would be very practical. "
