Hope you’well. Did you ever write a piece on NFC (alluded to in this article)?

Best,
Lee

Some readers might get the impression that WiMedia == UWB. It is but one flavor of UWB. By regulatory definition UWB means occupying at lest 500MHz of bandwidth. There is a UWB standard for low power, low data rate that is part of IEEE 802.15.4 (the base standard for ZigBee). The 802.15.4a signal is very different than WiMedia but still UWB.

There is room in the application world for different standards that meet different needs. WiMax, WiFi, WiMedia, 802.15.4 are different tools for different applications. Within certain spaces there is competition. The WiMax/4G space is full of competing standards. The hi rate WPAN space has converged for now on WiMedia with many vendors offering interoperable chips: this will change as the quest for higher bit rates leads to mutli-Gbps systems (look into the 802.15.3c Task Group working on a standard for multi-Gbps PHY in the 60Ghz band). This won’t supplant WiFi or WiMax, but may give WiMedia competition.

The key word for the next decade is convergence. We already see mobile platforms with many radios (GSM/CDMA, WiFi, Bluetooth, WiMedia/WUSB, GPS). We’re seeing demand for increasing integration on the platform backbone. Adding another radio or two to the mix is old hat by now ;-) .

Please update the link.

Thanks,
