Certified wireless usb
With an estimated 2 billion plus USB connected devices in the world and a growing interest in wireless computing, it's no surprise that development has turned to wireless USB. The USB Implementers Forum has introduced Certified Wireless USB the newest extension to the USB technology. Wireless USB applies wireless technology to existing USB standards to enable wireless consumers to still use USB devices without the mess of wires and worry of cords. Still in its infancy, the Wireless USB specifications were made available to the public only in May 2005.
Wireless USB is based on the WiMedia MAC Convergence Architecture, using the WiMedia Alliance's MB-OFDM ultra wideband MAC and PHY. It delivers speeds equivalent to wired Hi-Speed USB, with bandwidths of 480Mbs at 3 meters and 110 Mbs at 10 meters.
