UWB Welcomes Flood Of Handset-Centric Applications

摘要

Mobile handsets now provide Internet applications like e-mail, web browsing, and Instant Messaging. Going forward, even more performance, memory, and functionality will be integrated into handsets. Because so many consumers carry a mobile phone, it is clearly on the way to living up to one service provider's marketing slogan: "It's my life in there." To realize this potential, however, next-generation handsets will need to integrate short-range, high-speed wireless capabilities that can seamlessly connect with a variety of existing and emerging communications methods. The answer may lie in ultrawideband technology, which provides standards-based, high-bandwidth, multi-protocol capabilities. UWB also provides the flexibility for auto-discovery and connection with a variety of peer-to-peer and/or local server-based networks.
