ExtremeTech writes about Pulse-Link's entry into the UWB debate: Now there are three. The MBOA (Multi-Band OFDM Alliance) includes everybody but Motorola and Freescale which have their own ultrawideband ideas that sundered the IEEE 802.15.3a task group. But now Pulse-Link wants the world to consider its gigabit flavor as a third alternative. The initial MBOA specification is pegged for 480 Mbps.
There's the obligatory phrase "could eventually replace Wi-Fi in the home" in the story. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall (among UWB standards). Read my lips: no new standards. And, finally, from the Wi-Fi side: We will bury you.
