Introduction to UWB 2/4
- TechnologyPROS
CONS
• High data rates
• Short operating ranges
• Low transmission power
• Interference with other
licensed,
• Multipath immunity
”narrowband” systems
• Simple implementation, low
cost

Introduction to UWB 3/4
- Regulations -
• FCC approved the sale of UWB products
in the United States under certain limits
in February 2002
• UWB devices are allowed to work on
very low power levels to avoid
interference
• ETSI is working on proposal in Europe

Complementing and
Competing Technologies
• GSM, GPRS, EDGE and UMTS are
complementing due to their superior
mobility compared to others
• Wired solutions are always required as
backbones
• Most probable competitors are
Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 and HiperLAN2

Three Scenarios 1/3
• PAN: Bluetooth
• WLAN: IEEE 802.11
• UWB gains popularity in small segments
like automobile collision detection and
wall-through radars
 UWB remains as marginal technology

Three Scenarios 2/3
• PAN: UWB replaces Bluetooth
• WLAN: UWB and IEEE 802.11 co-exist
• Transition to HDTV in USA opens totally
new market that benefits UWB. CATV
operators exploit this opportunity.
 UWB is widely used where it is best

Three Scenarios 3/3
• PAN: UWB replaces Bluetooth
• WLAN: UWB replaces IEEE 802.11
• Integration with IEEE 802.3 framing
and IP succeeds. New product that
combine mobile networks and UWB hit
the market.
 UWB becomes a major solution for
short range wireless services
