Based on the WiMedia standard, intel introduced Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, its brings the convenience and mobility of wireless communications to high-speed communications in devices throughout the digital home and office. Its designed to perform in low-power, short- range, wireless personal area networks (WPANs), UWB is the advanced technology which make people free from wires, enabling wireless connection of multiple devices for transmission of video, audio and other high-bandwidth data.

UWB, short-range radio technology, complements other longer range radio technologies such as Wi-Fi*, WiMAX, and cellular wide area communications. It is used to relay data from a host device to other devices in the immediate area (up to 10 meters, or 30 feet). UWB radio transmissions can legally operate in the range from 3.1 GHz up to 10.6 GHz, at a limited transmit power of -41dBm/MHz. Consequently, UWB provides dramatic channel capacity at short range that limits interference.

Today, most computer and consumer electronic devices-everything from a digital camcorder and DVD player to a mobile PC and a high-definition TV (HDTV)-require wires to record, play or exchange data. UWB will eliminate these wires, allowing people to "unwire" their lives in new and unexpected ways. Through UWB: A digital camcorder could play a just-recorded video on a friend's HDTV without anyone having to fiddle with wires.

A portable MP3 player could stream audio to high-quality surround-sound speakers anywhere in the room. A mobile computer user could wirelessly connect to a digital projector in a conference room to deliver a presentation. Digital pictures could be transferred to a photo print kiosk for instant printing without the need of a cable. An office worker could put a mobile PC on a desk and instantly be connected to a printer, scanner and Voice over IP (VoIP) headset.

This convenience features prove that UWB has a fantastic role Wireless Technology and Intel too.............!!!!!!!!
