Wireless USB
Wireless USB from the USB-IF is the first high-speed wireless personal interconnect technology that combines the speed and security of wired Hi-Speed USB with the ease-of-use of wireless technology.
Similar to wired USB, Wireless USB allows users to connect up to 127 devices together, and delivers a bandwidth of up to 480 Mbps at 3 meters and 110 Mbps at 10 meters.
NXP is committed to Wireless USB and has a complete roadmap for its development. The NXP ISP3582, our first certified Wireless USB native device controller, is also WiMedia Certified. It is designed for portable applications, so it provides a low-power, small-footprint solution while enabling an optimal software architecture.
NXP is a member of the Wireless USB Promoter Group and helped define the core specification for Wireless USB. We also hold key positions in steering committees and technical working groups.
NXP has collaborated with Intel to demonstrate Wireless USB technology, and has shown, at the Intel Developers Forum, a fully functional, production-ready, end-to-end silicon solution. The solution connects an Intel host wire adapter (HWA) to a standard PC and an NXP device module integrated with a development platform for an MP3 player.

UWB Common Radio Platform
The Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Common Radio Platform, which was developed by the WiMedia Alliance, is the basis for Wireless USB products. It enables Wireless USB and other UWB-based product markets to thrive by providing a seamless, high-data-rate wireless solution for multiple application protocols.
The WiMedia UWB standards, published by ECMA International, are optimized for wireless personal-area networking and deliver high-speed data transfer (480 Mbps and beyond) and low-power multimedia capabilities for the PC, CE, mobile, and automotive market segments. Emphasizing peaceful co-existence with other wireless services, the UWB Common Radio Platform can be designed to operate with other technologies such as WiMedia Logical Link Controller Protocol (WLP) and Bluetooth.
