In the digital home of the not-too-distant future, people will be sharing photos, music, video, data and voice among networked consumer electronics, PCs and mobile devices throughout the home and even remotely. For example, users will be able to stream video content from a PC or consumer electronics (CE) device -- such as a camcorder, DVD player or personal video recorder -- to a flat screen HDTV (high-definition television) display without the use of any wires. A leading candidate for enabling this capability is ultra wideband (UWB), a wireless technology designed for short-range, personal area networks, or PANs. This year, UWB is making the transition from laboratories to standardization, a key step toward the development of real-world products.
