Bluetooth over UWB

Bluetooth over UWB
You may recall in Chapter 8, Cypress Semiconductor: Introducing WirelessUSB, we discussed
the rich number of possibilities that WirelessUSB (WUSB) offered in terms of
the standard PC and its associated number of peripheral devices. The marriage of
Bluetooth and UWB can now realistically push a new generation of technology that
will serve the WUSB dream much more satisfactorily, as the potential bandwidth
seems to exceed that of existing USB-enabled products. When you compare
Bluetooth’s EDR offering data rates of up to 3Mbps and compare that with UWB’s
offering of up to a theoretical 1Gbps you may begin to understand the range of
possibilities. It seems that UWB is riding Bluetooth’s already established, albeit  muted, market acceptance and through a back door we will undoubtedly witness
UWB becoming the basis of most Bluetooth audio/video solutions. It is clear that
this subtle approach will help avoid the thrusting of yet another new wireless product
into the consumer’s already crowded top drawer of USB- and PCMCIA-enabled
devices.
