Wireless USB could be the Future of USB
Wireless USB is a new technology allowing the speed and security of wired technology with the ease of wireless technology. UWB Ultra Wide Band is a wireless communication technology that allows transmission of large amounts of digital data over a wide spectrum of frequency bands for very low power consumption. Wireless USB will utilize this technology to meet the needs of multimedia consumer electronics PC peripherals and data storage and mobile devices. It will have the function of your current USB connectivity without the cables.
The performance of Wireless USB is targeted at 480Mbps at 3 meters and 110Mbdps at 10 meters. Belkin has developed a Wireless USB combination that requires a USB antenna to be connected to your PC and a separate Wireless USB hub that has 4 regular wired USB ports. This allows the Wireless USB enabled PC to connect and communicate with whatever devices are connected to it.
Unlike Bluetooth technology Wireless USB won't require the consumer to struggle with a pairing process and is considered to be more secure. It has also proven to be speedier than Bluetooth.
It is predicted that by the end of the year we will be seeing Wireless USB enabled printers cameras flash drives and hard drives arriving in the marketplace.
