What is UWB?
| Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a technology for transmitting information over a large bandwidth (>500MHz) that should, in theory and under the right circumstances, be able to share spectrum with other users. UWB is ideally suited for streaming multi-media in the wireless home or office environment. |
