Ultrawideband Heralds Zippier Wireless Connections

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Think of it as Wi-Fi on steroids. On its way to U.S. living rooms and maybe even automobiles is a new type of high-speed wireless connection that promises downloaded data rates of up to 1 gigabit per second -- roughly 18.5 times the speed of Wi-Fi --to personal computers and other devices.

This Ultrawideband technology, which could become available in the next two years, also allows the devices to send data upstream to a network at 480 megabits per second.

The idea is to make it possible to do things like stream high-definition television signals throughout the home, send video shot on a digital recorder live across the Internet, and even connect a digital music player to a car's stereo system -- all with a wireless connection.

Ultimately, Ultrawideband chipsets could be installed in any electronic device -- such as a PC, set-top box, camera or tablet PC -- to enable really high-speed data transmission.
