Ever since TZero has shut down operations, a lot of news articles have come up with headlines about the death of UWB. Is it really time to say goodbye to this wireless standard? Except for the WiMedia Alliance, does anyone out there care about the slow and painful death of UWB? Or are you more interested in the success of UWB's competing technology, the WirelessHD standard? I know I am.

I don't think UWB is very potential.
I am promoting Wi-Fi module in China. including 11g, and 11n standard modules with all kinds of interface (e.g. USB , MiniCPI-E, MiniPCI etc.)

Staccato's Colombatto argues: There's no better tech to transfer media content wirelessly at high-speeds and low-power. But Maury Wright of Digital Home DesignLine is far from convinced--even saying that the CEO has a clear vested interest in convincing us that UWB is not dead.
Is it or isn't it? What's your take on this?

I agree with Wright--Colombatto's essay reads like hard-sell. Of course Staccato would defend a technology they've invested so much on. On the other hand, I like the promise of the UWB WPAN, it would be a waste to just give up on it.

The finding with UWB was that no one would be willing to replace a simple cable with a wireless standard that actually costs more money.

Till silicon processes are low in cost, no technology that can replace a wired link will be successful.

I doubt that Flat Panel TV's would come with UWB built in. I am yet to see one.

This standard needs a lot of improvement before you can call it a short distance wireless link that is as cost effective as a HDMI cable.

The only application that I see for UWB would be with portable devices that beam their multimedia content to a TV. However I am sure that later generations of WiFi will fix this issue. Also because of the sheer volume of WiFi technology use, the costs for WiFi are probably going to get lower than that of a HDMI cable, leaving UWB technology in the weeds.

I just got the ITU to support UWB, The Uraxs Project, and the UWB Global Adoption Conference here in Geneva for the spring! Who's in? Also, check out the Nov 09 magazine issue at www.incisor.tv
