WiMedia Ultrawideband Technology

WiMedia-based UWB technology enables universal, high-speed, short-range wireless connectivity between many types of digital products. UWB enables the continued migration to high-speed wireless digital communications by specifically addressing the need for a very high-speed, point-to-point wireless connectivity solution. The key benefits of ultrawideband are:

• Replacement of the expensive and unsightly cables used to connect consumer entertainment and computing products with a single, low cost, wireless connection.
• Extremely high performance streaming media and file transfers.
• Simple and easy process to connect devices with each other.
