Breadcrumbs: The Future of Ubiquitous Computing --> Driving Forces: Technological Forces --> Universal Broadband Network Access
Description
In networking, the next step beyond the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards we're familiar with is a technology called ultra-wideband (UWB), a lowpower scheme that relays data at rates upwards of 500 MB/secondaround ten times faster than current wireless. UWB is rich enough to support the transmission of multiple simultaneous streams of highdefinition video, agile and responsive enough to facilitate ad-hoc mesh networking.[*] UWB wants to be the channel via which all the world's newly self-identifying artifacts transact and form spontaneous new connections.
